Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist but you'll have to ask politely

F Am Dm F Am G G7And I'll know I had it coming from a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist

D7I bet you're really glad that I lied
