doesn't mean that i'm not a likable guy
just because i wanna legalize suicide
doesn't mean i want anyone to die

i like to think i'm a sane, happy pessimist
enjoying my stay while it lasts
you can't overlook my negative nature
i don't wear happiness like a mask

subtly cruel when i speak of life
and utter sarcasm with a mild grin
i beg you, don't be frightened,
i'm telling you it's just how i am

i enjoy your negative feelings
but i would rather see you smile
i'm not waiting for global extinction
i still think we have a while

i like to think i'm a sane, happy pessimist
enjoying my stay while i last
always worried about overpopulation
when will we learn from our past

you won't find me weeping
or waiting for the end of time
i've learned i can still be happy
because happiness is in your mind

Kind of a paradox isn't it and I sort of agree with you, atleast on the happiness is a state of mind.

"Don't worry, be a pessimist?" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
