Hope
With all your high hopes and all your pipe dreams
You’re so deluded it’s so exhausting
Although the daydreams really don’t excite me
Low expectations: the only way to right things
See there’s nothing left to hope for
And we should all just learn to embrace the end
If you’re wondering how you’ll cope, well
Maybe you can start by eliminating false pretense

It won’t be okay, I don’t care what you say

Anticipation, the impact will be frightening
When all your prospects that used to seem inviting
Replaced by doubt no more at ease a tight line
You’re losing value closer to the deadline
See there’s nothing left to hope for
And we should all just learn to embrace the end
If you’re wondering how you’ll cope, well
It’s pretty much determined that you failed, so just face the facts
I don’t care how much it hurts ‘cause
All your whining won’t help for the wounds to mend
So play the victim all you want, well
You may as well give up, say your prayers, let the world cave in

It won’t be okay, I don’t care what you say

I don’t care how much it hurts ‘cause
All your whining won’t help for the wounds to mend
So play the victim all you want, well
You may as well give up, say your prayers, let the world cave in

With all your high hopes and all your pipe dreams
You’re so deluded it’s so exhausting
Although the daydreams really don’t excite me
Low expectations: the only way to right things

See there’s nothing left to hope for
And we should all just learn to embrace the end
If you’re wondering how you’ll cope, well
Maybe you can start by eliminating false pretense
I don’t care how much it hurts ‘cause
All your whining won’t help for the wounds to mend
So play the victim all you want, well
You may as well give up, say your prayers, let the world cave in
The day will come when you wise up and
You’ll be joining us waiting for the world to end
You can still pretend if you want to
Our certainty of course assures reality soon sets in
