aimee mann - the fall of the world's own optimist lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s no charity in you
and that surprises me
i guess i thought you were
a golden idol
’cause i called you majesty
on the bal-strade
you watched me hunt for tips
i was obliged to pick up
from the p-ssing trade
[chorus]
hey, kids-look at this
it’s the fall of the world’s own optimist
i could get back up if you insist
but you’ll have to ask politely
’cause the eggsh-lls i’ve been treading
couldn’t spare me a beheading
and i’ll know i had it coming
from a caesar who was only slumming
hey, kids-look at this
it’s the fall of the world’s own optimist
[verse 2]
well, i could have objections
which you could override
but what’s the point
we’re only flogging the horse
when the horseman has up and died
once i testified
and swore i’d never leave a stone unturned
i bet you’re really glad that i lied
[chorus]
hey, kids-look at this
it’s the fall of the world’s own optimist
i could get back up if you insist
but you’ll have to ask politely
’cause the eggsh-lls i’ve been treading
couldn’t spare me a beheading
and i’ll know i had it coming
from a caesar who was only slumming
hey, kids-look at this
it’s the fall of the world’s own optimist
[alt chorus]
hey, kids-look at this
it’s the fall of the world’s own optimist
i could get back up if you insist
but you’ll have to ask politely
yes, you’ll have to ask politely
yes, you’ll have to ask politely
