I want to work to make ideas real
Sometimes far-fetched but I still feel
That we could try and maybe they
Would just work out
But you say no, don't even try
I ask but you don't know why
You just frown and shoot me down
Yeah, you're so smart

Everyone's so cynical
Can't feel a thing, so logical
Can't make a point, they
Intellectualize everything
I believe in naievty
Don't think it's dumb
Believe in dreams and silly schemes
Still human
I wish I was, and not dumb
But I feel myself getting numb...

I gotta dream and you can't say
That it's not right and it's okay
To just give up
But you say no, don't even try
I ask you but you don't know why
You just frown and shoot me down
Yeah, you're so smart

People say so condescending
Your idealism is amusing
But I say being alive is choosing
To not give up
