Idealist / Realest

Hey look at me, I'm just like you
Abused through out the day
No matter what we do or say
We hurt someone, something some way

When will you see the light
When will you start your change
You need not suffer
Just find a way to rearrange

Idealists dream of flowered worlds
The realist feels the dirt
No matter what we try to seek
It will not come and kiss our cheek

No time to taste your mothers pie
Or freak the ones you meet
Don't let you life just wonder by
Make it something clean and sweet
