I want to run across the highway
as the game lets out
Just to see if I survive
just to feel alive
for the first time
In a long time
I felt hope
I'm not a pessimist
I'm just a realist
But I think that now more than ever
They just might be the same thing
The times are changing
But not for the better
But isn't that the way it's always been?
So maybe in the long run
Nothing's changed at all
for the first time
In a long time
I felt hope
I'm not a pessimist
I'm just a realist
But I think that now more than ever
They just might be the same thing
I'm not a pessimist
I'm just a realist
But I think that now more than ever
They just might be the same thing
(For the first time
in a long time
I felt hope)
I'm not a pessimist
I'm just a realist
But I think that now more than ever
They just might be the same thing
[I'm not a pessimist
I'm just a realist]
