“Cynic”

 

You take a look around

You see broken dreams

You take a listen

And hear children’s’ screams

For you the world’s lost hope

And more pain will rise

But you can find hope

Even in a dead man’s eyes

Just push the cynic in you to the side

 

You see pain and greed and crime and pollution

But your bitching isn’t gonna bring a solution

You can whine to yourself about all that is wrong

But the crime is you could have helped out all along

So raise up your hands for all that is right

Get off your ass and join in the fight

 

They are cynics

Much like you and I

All that cynics

Can do is cry

They bring panic

To a world gone awry

But the cynics

Will eat themselves alive

 

It’s true that there’s crime, violence, and hate

Just look around, that ain’t up for debate

It’s true that to many the world must look strange

And we are the ones who must bring about change

While all of this is way too cliché

That’s the way it is and I can’t change the way

 

Though there are cynics

Unlike you and I

All that cynics

Can do is cry

They bring panic

But the well has gone dry

Despite the cynics

The world will survive

 

Take a look around

You’ll see hopes and dreams

Just take a listen

You’ll know what I mean

There is still hope

And the good can still rise

And when you see happiness

You won’t be surprised

We’ll just push the cynic in you to the side
