The Fall Of The World s Own Optimist lyrics
There s no charity in you and that surprises me
I guess I thought you were a golden idol cause I called you majesty
On the balustrade you watched me hunt for tips
I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade

Hey kids look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist, but you ll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells I ve been treading couldn t spare me a beheading
And I ll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist

Well, I could have objections which you could override
But what s the point we re only flogging the horse when
The horseman has up and died once I testified
And swore I d never leave a stone unturned
I bet you re really glad that I lied

Hey kids look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist, but you ll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells I ve been treading couldn t spare me a beheading
And I ll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey kids look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist

Hey kids look at this it s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist, but you ll have to ask politely
Yes, you ll have to ask politely
Yes, you ll have to ask
