lyrics
Weaned within a week but you know
Not to clean a wound with a power hose
So you 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 fulfillment
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?
