Cynic
Rising from Cynicism: A Anthem for Change by No Picnics
Lyrics
I’ve been a cynic for too long
I have held a cynical perspective for an extended period
Time to change the story
It's time to alter the narrative or perspective
Here’s your three minute warning
This is your three-minute warning, indicating a significant change or event approaching
Sniping and scoffing all I know
Constantly criticizing and mocking everything I understand
That’s not helping anyone
Recognizing that such behavior is unproductive for everyone
I’m sorry everyone
Expressing remorse to everyone affected by the cynicism
Down Down Down Down Down
A repetitive descent or low point
Get up and take me
Encouraging action to uplift and guide
Down Down Down Down Down
A repetition of descent, emphasizing the need for assistance
Make me up
Asking for a renewal or reconstruction
So here I am a new resolve
Presenting a newfound determination or decision
A board room full of talkers
Being in a room filled with people who talk but may lack action
I’m the prime hawker
Identifying oneself as the primary advocate or promoter
It’s just a start, oh yes, I know,
Acknowledging that it's just the beginning, though determined to persist
But I’m not stopping anything
Committing to not halt any efforts
Till we get fucking everything
Determined to achieve everything without compromise
Down Down Down Down Down
Repetition of descent, reiterating the need for assistance
Get up and take me
Encouraging action for upliftment
Down Down Down Down Down
A repetition of the request for renewal or reconstruction
Make me up
Reiterating the plea to be uplifted or reconstructed
You’re all I’ve got please wake me up
Expressing reliance on others to bring about positive change
(I hear they’re singing for us
Referencing rumors or information about a positive development
We’ll know when we have made enough)
Suggesting that the positive change will be evident when a sufficient amount is achieved
