"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
