There are silver clouds all over the sky But you'll find the black lining If you're looking for happiness Why not cut back on your whining? And be an optimist So when it all goes wrong You can still find your way home But you're a pessimist And you pay for it And your drag is all your own You're crying 'bout your half gla** of milk Before you've even spilled it I have a gla** that's half-empty, too - But I know life refills it 'Cause I'm an optimist And when it all goes wrong I know I'll still find my way home But you're a pessimist And you pay for it And your drag is all your own Only you could see this day And find a way to b**h It's such a f**ed-up way to live It keeps you down I'm such an optimist That when December comes I can still believe it's June But you're a pessimist And it eats you up And you'll probably die too soon I'm a optimist And it all comes down To the way I choose to see But you're a pessimist And, hey, that's your choice, too But don't you lay your drag on me I don't want it There are silver clouds all over the sky But you'll find the black lining
