A song about never looking forward to what's coming ahead because you've been burned by optimism too many times in the past.

Artist picture
A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics
Why can’t I leave what’s good alone? Why do I need to prepare for the worst? Eternal pessimism leaves me on my own It’s my downfall, my hex, my curse. It’s like I’m always wearing sunglasses Seeing only the dark side of all issues The future’s kicking me in the ass, yeah, Chills in every nerve, cell and sinew. And so I say why live for tomorrow? When my visions are so filled of sorrow Pessimism, an attitude Reality more than a mood Pessimism, it takes control Here comes the end of the world. I was an optimist once long ago, Bright eyes filled with ambition, But when disappointment’s all I know It causes a change in my condition Shattered dreams and broken hearts Serve to paint black a checkered past My optimism it did depart Leaves me in dead fucking last And so I say why live for tomorrow? When my visions are so filled of sorrow Pessimism, an attitude Reality more than a mood Pessimism, it takes control Here comes the end of the world.
