They often tell you;
"Look on the bright side"
Don't be so down
Ha! I'm smiling on the inside

Honest I am
I can laugh with the best
At you're pathetic cliches
And this pathetic mess

That you call life
Well, that's a joke
We're merely exisitng
We're drowning in the smoke

You can dress it up
And say:" Stay cheerful!"
But to me it's no good
I need to be dull

I need to be real
To see the bad side
Because things don't go good
No ones on my side

And yes I might be a little pessimistic
I might bring a downer on your silly smile
But I can't pretend everythings okay
The realist in me can only hide a while

So I'll stick to my ways,
If you don't mind
Because when things do go well
It's overwhelming joy I find

So here's to us realists
Us pessimists, us sad acts
Let's laugh at the happy losers
When reality hits them with a crash
