[brentalfloss - Overture and Prologue lyrics]
It's a new day
There's a chance on the horizon
Gone a new way
There's a brand new sun arising
Not the sun that it was Yesterday
A new sun here to stay on this new day
There's a new song
Sung by men with milk mustaches
Diving headlong
Into a sea of half full glasses
Our hearts are swelling up with hope
A hope that's here to stay on this new day
It's so cliche haven't you heard this before
So flat and optimistic
Sure it's musical theater
But does it have to be this unrealistic?
Yes! We don't go see a show to
Be told how much life blows
Diversion and distraction are the marks
Of all good shows
Bullshit!
Being pessimistic is only being smart
Cynicism's just a way to
Protect your hopeful heart
We disagree!
All that well-being can not survive apart
Otherwise how could anyone have
Love inside his heart
Don't you see this shit is even more
Depressing than reality
I don't know what that means
Big surprise! Open your eyes!
Open your eyes! Optimism is the key
To living your life happily
Pessimism's really dull
Besides this is a musical
Why can't you see you're living stupidly
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Aw c'mon guys can't we all
Enjoy an opening that's optimistic
Even if it is a little
Flat and one dimensional i think we should
No! The theater should be as
Depressing as real life
Whether it's catchy or good!
Your cynicism has no place in musical theater
Your ignorance has no place
Anywhere if they won't
See it our way then we'll make them
Oh yeah?
Yeah!
We'd like to see you try! Oh yeah?
Yeah!
At least we think we'll win
Oh that's it! Charge!
What happened? Where are we?
I feel different?
I suddenly feel so pragmatic
Life's not always black and white
It doesn't work that way more often than not
The hues we got are shades of gray
Oh! Oh okay, so that's why it's called that
Stupid me I couldn't figure it out
I saw our shirts two and two together
There's a chance on the horizon
Gone a new way
There's a brand new sun arising
Not the sun that it was Yesterday
A new sun here to stay on this new day
There's a new song
Sung by men with milk mustaches
Diving headlong
Into a sea of half full glasses
Our hearts are swelling up with hope
A hope that's here to stay on this new day
It's so cliche haven't you heard this before
So flat and optimistic
Sure it's musical theater
But does it have to be this unrealistic?
Yes! We don't go see a show to
Be told how much life blows
