[Intro]
I/You got, I/You got, I/You got the heart of
Heart of, Heart of, Heart of a Lion
[Verse 1: Satnam - Optimist]
Thank the heavens, I've made it past the age of 27
Won't be joining Jim, Janis or even Mr. Hendrix
Each day I wake's a blessing, that's why I'm not stressing
All of the small things, What's my age again? I'm forgetting
I've got a spotless mind, living in Eternal Sunshine
Timing's everything, not rushing to find Clementine
Searching for a better line, better rhyme to better mine
It's a better time, f** trying to bed a dime
No remorse, no regrets, just living for each breath
If it's the last one I get, I'll be sure to give it my best
My best is good enough cause that's what Thom Yorke said
Now It's time to change the station in my Radiohead
Haven't been “Let Down” - no expectations, “No Surprises”
Not checking my mirrors for “Karma Police” when I'm driving
(Just) striving for greatness, I consider myself “Lucky”
Got the Heart of a Lion, Wicked Witches can't touch me
[Hook - Optimist 2x]
You say no, and I say yes /
Never say no, ‘cause I know best
[Verse 2: Chance Random - Pessimist]
PLEASE, take a step back, rea**ess
Shouldn't think you have wings when you can barely leave the nest
You're just stressed like the rest of 'em
And when the confession's done, you won't think to question 'em
f**in' LOSER, you know just what the truth is..
Those bullies were all right, even though they're all ruthless
The puddings where the proof is, you're useless, believe that
Anyone with a head on their shoulders can see that
Who's the cynic? Bruised ego tripping
Good thoughts? Don't listen, play your position
Keep your head down, I mean the lowest
Maybe no one will notice, when you blow it
Because you will and you know it
So don't get your hopes up, you'll only get 'em broken
To little pieces you can't pick up
So if you're down and out, then don't get up
[Hook - Pessimist 2x]
I say no, and you say yes
Still say no, ‘cause I know best
[Verse 3: Chance Random - Pessimist]
Everybody plays (the) pessimist
The weary are restless, so effort always gets bested
And don't get ahead of yourself
But I don't think any of these lessons would help
So there's nothing you can do, (but) wear your shame like tattoos
And scarlet letters, better do just what you have to
Don't you get it? You should quit it
Admit it, you'd rather hear the bad news
[Verse 3: Satnam - Optimist]
I want you out of my head because your baggage is a burden
If this is fight club that makes you Tyler Durden
And I am Jack's smirking revenge
Because tonight a pessimist is gonna meet his end
And your villainous words won't get under my skin
Muhammad Ali -- one to the chin
Down for the count, here's your bad news
Eternal optimist, I will not lose
[Hook - Optimist 4x]
