I'm just like anyone I dream of being someone Fixed on growing young Man, ain't it fun I put up a real good front - act real nonchalant If i can't change the world I'll change myself In hope i still believe, if nothing else In society so bleak It feels good to be a freak Unchained by your tv No fear installed in me I got the faith, eternal optimist And i'm a brave eternal optimist A fail-safe eternal optimist Don't bail out on me If i'm considered mad It might just make me glad Deviation here can't be too bad You can't tell me that i can't 'cos i can do anything Should i screw up, that's fine I'll try again Responsible, no guilt. i feel no shame You can find someone to blame For what's wrong in your brain Deny your selfdeceit You just ain't fooling me I remain an eternal optimist A better day eternal optimist A fail-safe eternal optimist Don't bail out on me A true blue eternal optimist A bona fide eternal optimist A certified eternal optimist So don't bail out on me I'm a brave eternal optimist I keep the faith, eternal optimist A fail-safe eternal optimist Don't ya bail out on me
