Lyrics for Optimistic

Flies are buzzing around my head Vultures circling the dead Picking up every last crumb The big fish eat the little ones The big fish eat the little ones Not my problem, give me some You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough This one's optimistic This one went to market This one just came out of the swamp This one drops a payload Fodder for the animals Living on animal farm You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough I'd really like to help you man I'd really like to help you man Nervous messed up marionette Floating around on a prison ship You can try the best you can You can try the best you can The best you can is good enough You can try the best you can You can try the best you can Dinosaurs roaming the Earth Dinosaurs roaming the Earth Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
