Something Positive
from A Better Place To Be by Hopeless Otis
lyrics
"Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt" / That's how I'd like to look back on my life / But as for right now I'm sinking into something that I have no control of
These are the songs that burn down cities / These are the songs that we sing
Let's do something positive / I don't care what it is / something that strikes a flash of hope into our hearts / Something that makes us feel alive
We could conquer the world / We could conquer all we see / But this town's too small, it's too fucking easy / From my backyard to the end of the block there's solace in knowing that one sure shot / Today we will survive
These are the songs that burn down cities / These are the songs that we sing
Let's do something positive / I don't care what it is / something that strikes a flash of hope into our hearts / Something that makes us feel alive
These are the songs that burn down cities / These are the songs that we sing
Let's do something positive / I don't care what it is / something that strikes a flash of hope into our hearts / Something that makes us feel alive
We could conquer the world / We could conquer all we see / But this town's too small, it's too fucking easy / From my backyard to the end of the block there's solace in knowing that one sure shot / Today we will survive
These are the songs that burn down cities / These are the songs that we sing
Let's do something positive / I don't care what it is / something that strikes a flash of hope into our hearts / Something that makes us feel alive
