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 gla**es 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 Bullsh**! 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 sh** is even more depressing than reality I don't know what that means Big surprise! Open your eyes! Open your eyes! [Counterpoint:] Optimism is the key To living your life happily Pessimism's really dull Besides this is a musical [Counterpoint:] Why can't you see You're living stupidly f** you! f** 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..
