A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT
WORDS & MUSIC BY BRAJER, VAN TREEK, HARS…1978
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL BRING YOU DOWN,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT DISTORTS A SOUND,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL GIVE YOU DOUBT,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, YOU COULD DO WITHOUT.
BEWARE OF EXCUSES, REASONS ARE ON HAND,
BELIEVE IN MURPHY’S LAW, IT’LL HAPPEN IF IT CAN,
A PICNIC IN THE RAIN, THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE,
A DAY AT THE BEACH, AND THE SUN DON’T SHINE.
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL BRING YOU DOWN,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT DISTORTS A SOUND,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL GIVE YOU DOUBT,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, YOU COULD DO WITHOUT.
A NO, OR NOT OR NEVER, IS EASIER TO SAY,
A WON’T COULD LAST FOREVER, THE DIRECTION IS ONE WAY.
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL BRING YOU DOWN,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT DISTORTS A SOUND,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, THAT’LL GIVE YOU DOUBT,
IT’S A PESSIMISTIC THOUGHT, YOU COULD DO WITHOUT.
