Verse 1
Bm
D
"I talked to them about the
necessity of having some
G
Creativity of your own involved in your life,
And how that can provide you
an escape from the
F#
Death sentence of your normal
G
role in so ciety
F#
That's mapped out for you.
G
Bm
And I told them that sort of what
I've tried to do with my life
is basically
You know, my life for me began one day in high
D
school when I thought,
I don't care what anybody
thinks of me
Or how much money I have or anything,
I just wanna get out of
here. You know,
I'm not going to wear
G
a tight collar all my life
D
Unless I'm in the mood sort of thing
G
F#m

Who just wants to live their own life,
Such as financial insecurity,
D

Time to get up and
listen to the
D
Crap- all- over- it show with
whoever the fuck he is
A
D
Telling me more bullshit!' I like to get out.
G
But no, I do a little... you know, I just try
D
G
to keep loose;
Go to bed at night, eat right,

G
Little tai- chi maybe a few minutes,

Verse 3
Bm
"One last question: are you an optimist,
would you say?" "
Neither optimist or pessimist,
Just kinda neutral on that as far as all

I don't think much about that. It's gonna go well or badly,
If I think I wanna do it I'll just do it."
