I for One Songtext
Guess I gotta throw my penny in the water
‘cause I'm getting kind of tired of all the kiddies with a lotta
Down brows downtown
Just barking at the system, growling at the new scene, wishing for the old thing

I don't wanna be the guy who's got a problem,
But it seems like everybody's got a million little problems
No gain, no pain, complain all day
Thank God you've got it all sussed out
Well,
We know you hate it
We know you know you'll never kno-ow
Don't complicate it, there's nowhere else you can go-oooo

I, for one, I love the way it feels to love the world
I, for one, I love the way it feels to love

Being cynical is simple and I get it
That it's easier to knock it than to really think about it
But you think we're all so dazzled by the way that you dismantle
All the best laid plans you never worked out

If you weren't so convoluted to believe that life's polluted
By a social institution, hinging on a revolution,
Waiting and abating, while you sit there hating every goddamn thing
Just SHUT THE FUCK UP

We know you hate it
We didn't know how far you'd go
It's people like you who hate people like me for being optimistic
Well, fuck you!

I, for one, I love the way it feels to love the world
I, for one, I love the way it feels to love

So they say a negative attracts a positive
Well this time, they'd be wrong
And it's getting worse, it keeps on coming, burning off our skin
Would you kindly take the time to shut your senseless hate-hole?
I'd be oh-so-grateful
Irony gets lost in me

I, for one, I love the way it feels to love the world
I, for one, I love the way it feels to love
