Tears For Fears - Mr. Pessimist lyrics

Don't worry about it

Time will swallow your precious time
Like magic create the future

What makes a man so fickle?
Who put the daggers in those eyes?
Was it to learn through
Dark days of struggle?
Was it to burn, to burst all our bubbles?
Thunder and rain
Well the cynical flame, will it heat
Stick and blister? Thunder and rain

Evangelistic brother
Should be banging a tambourine
Go wash your hands and fingers
'Til your mind is clean

Was it your fate to sleep like a normal?
Time and decay no man is immortal
Thunder and rain
Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
Will it heat stick and blister?
Thunder and rain still try to resist the
Pessimist, the pessimist, no, no

And these things I find
In the back of my mind
Where time lasts forever
I get all mixed up, think I'm all mankind

Listen, Mr pessimister
With your Catholic taste
Oh, listen, Mr pessimister, Pessimister
We do not relate
Listen, Mr pessimister, Pessimister
Pessimister mr pessimister
