lirik lagu elvis costello - world's greatest optimist [demo]
[verse 1]
there’s no charity in you
you took the eye in me
i never said you were a golden idol
with one extra arm or three
or formed as you preyed
upon mere mortals
that you were obliged to pick up
from the passing trade
[chorus]
hey kids, look at this
can’t you see i’m the world’s great optimist
i could get up now if you insist
but you’ll have to ask politely
if by chance i feel insulted
and by fortune i’ve been halted
when in time i catapulted
into heaven i’ll bevaulted
hey, kids, look at this
can’t you see i’m the world’s great optimist
[verse 2]
there’s no vanity in me
because i’m quite convinced
i think i finally got you out of my hair now
and i didn’t have to rinse
remember when i cried
and swore i’d never wash the lips you kissed
i bet you’re really glad that i lied
[chorus]
hey kids, look at this
can’t you see i’m the world’s great optimist
i could get up now if you insist
but you’ll have to ask politely
if by chance i feel insulted
and by fortune i’ve been halted
when in time i catapulted
into heaven i’ll be vaulted
hey, kids, look at this
can’t you see i’m the world’s great optimist
