Negativity Killed Naivety

I'm a licensed realist selling beach front pessimism to all you sunny 'bright side' kids with your cheery dispositions it's about time your perfect rosy worlds got a little screwed and jaded 'cause you'll find this world's just a bit more cold than the one you'd anticipated you didn't factor in loneliness when you dreamt up your perfect Oz and when you sat and thought about 'happily ever after' you didn't think about loss see this life is full of few ups but more downs and soon you'll come to realize that no one can live a fairy tale and there's rarely a dream that doesn't die
