"Optimist" ~ Tonedeff
It says the f word once so I can't link to it, but I will paste the last verse in here so you understand the gist of the song.
"Now, when you go this long uphill, you lose the will to climb it/
So, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining/
In a world this wrong, gotta carry a sword that’s strong/
And slice ‘em all with smiles, y’all – I fight ‘em as I kill with kindness/
Nobody wants a Bitter Benny or a Debbie Downer/
Or a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them/
Keep a sunny disposition – Breathe Out/
Cause life has a way of stripping the paint off of your dream house. It’s simple./
Indeed these things seem to be easy to see/
But they easily flee your mind as you find repeated deceit/
Now, there’s reasons the weak of will never dream or believe/
Before they leap, they concede to defeat and agree to retreat/
Now, when fatigue has really got you by the balls/
Remember that if you really didn’t believe you’d succeed, then you wouldn’t have tried at all/
So, jump regardless of the consequence/
Cause even on the night of the apocalypse, everybody’s an optimist."
