today don't look so bad

compared to tomorrow

if time is all we have

then we're living on borrowed

yesterday's for fools

who try to remember

the good ol' days

weren't always that

much better



its our 

cynical fuck

well I ain't nothing but a

cynical fuck

it don't take much to be a

cynical, all you need is love

all you need is what to be a

cynical fuck

well I ain't nothing but a

cynical fuck

it don't take much to be a

cynical, all you need is love



and whatever you do

someone's done it first

though it's sad but true

this us just another verse

if you can't take it with you

then what's the use

I never saw a u-haul

being pulled behind a hearse



its our 

cynical fuck

well I ain't nothing but a

cynical fuck

it don't take much to be a

cynical, all you need is love

all you need is what to be a

cynical fuck

well I ain't nothing but a

cynical fuck

it don't take much to be a

cynical, all you need is love



[chorus]



looks like my brighter side

has gotten a bit darker

I must have stepped over

my four leaf clover

'cause someone drank my

half-filled cup of water
