lyrics

Cynic
We already know that things are awful
And it only gets worse each day
But that’s no excuse not to be thoughtful
And apply a little effort to change
All of this got the way it is
Through general neglect and decay
Maybe if we gave a damn about things
Well, it wouldn’t turn out this way

I can’t defend these modern times
Too much excess corrupts our lives
It falls apart before our eyes
We let it happen, we must be blind

Everything sucks and it’s all your fault
You people just make it worse on yourselves
That’s the truth if it need be told
Wipe the slate clean, start over I know…

I guess I’m a cynic, I guess I gave up
Can’t help but look around and wonder “what the fuck?”
We’ve made a mess of things, I think we’ve done enough
We fucking had our chance and it’s time that we’ve laid off

It’s pretty clear where it all went wrong
Things were fine till we came along
Rinse, repeat, ‘cause it’s always the same
We break, burn down, we smash, decay

Everything sucks and it’s all your fault
You people just make it worse on yourselves
That’s the truth if it need be told
Wipe the slate clean, start over I know…

I guess I’m a cynic, I guess I gave up
Can’t help but look around and wonder “what the fuck?”
We’ve made a mess of things, I think we’ve done enough
We fucking had our chance, it’s time that we’ve laid off
I can’t defend these modern times
Too much excess corrupts our lives
It falls apart before our eyes
We let it happen, we must be blind

Maybe you’re all just dumb (we must be blind)
Can’t be I’m the only one who sees

I guess I’m a cynic, I guess I gave up
