Today the world can go to hell you say An angry life for angry times And all around conspiracies When life is out to kick you down No chance, just dance – a puppet on a string And you see your world through cold jaded eyes All the beauty and wonderment is gone There can be no joy – all darkness without light At the day's end you know there's something wrong The path you take is up to you Can't you see your life is waiting Light and dark – a point of view Understand this plan is at your command Your fate in your hands or be damned Today is gonna be a perfect day A smile and goodwill all around Ignoring plain reality Won't let the bastards bring you down You feel, unreal – gloss-over everything And you see your world through rose shaded eyes All the beauty and wonderment adorn There will be all joy – no darkness only light At the day's end you know there's something wrong The path you take is up to you Can't you see your life is waiting Light and dark – a point of view Understand this plan is all in your hands The life you make is up to you And you'll see a new world is waiting And good or bad – a point of view Understand this plan is at your command Your fate in your hands or be damned Today is just another normal day Where good and bad can come to anyone Dumb luck and no conspiracies No false pretense to guide my way That's life, that's right – I know it's up to me And I see my world through unclouded eyes All the cruelty and wonderment unbound And the key is balance, no darkness without light At the day's end I've known it all along
