Eternal Optimist

Weaned within a week but you know Not to clean a wound with a power hose So ya must harness this to beat the ego Or you are doomed to grieve what will not close But have you ever had better, man? Yeah, have you ever had better, man? Or do you wish you were a better man? So you could find someone to halt your development The pride of his life does not yet exist But he's forever the eternal optimist He's conditioned to value his existence On love interest opinions or past sexual experience And when the rest of the world is so perfect His words reverberate Within his vertebrae, they say: "Why do I feel such a need to relate?" Well it's the same reason Wounds can't be cleaned with a power hose But you no longer cross the road Even when the green man says it's safe to do so But have you ever had better, man? Yeah, have you ever had better, man? Or do you wish you were a better man? So you could find someone to halt your development The pride of his life does not yet exist But he's forever the eternal optimist He envisions a life lived different In which he switched all his ambition for a social fulfilment Cause when the rest of the world is so perfect His words reverberate Within his vertebrae, they say: "Why do I feel such a need to relate?" Well it's the same reason Wounds can't be cleaned with a power hose But you no longer cross the road Even when the green man says it's safe to do so Cause you're still embarrassed What ever did hit The eternal optimist?
