Cynic Lyrics[Verse 1]
I'd change my name to find a space to get some rest
I'd give my face to find a place to put my head
But this is who we are, there's no glamor to it
I board the plane and sleep my way to LAX
I cried at the rain, but there's no way that I'm depressed
Oh, if I think too hard, I'm scared I might lose it
[Chorus]
Oh
The Hollywood sign don't catch my eye much anymore
Oh, ooh-ooh
Leave it to time to make me feel I'm getting old
I'm living with it
Give me the open mind that I had before
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, I'm a cynic
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before
[Verse 2]
They sense the blame that comes with failure and success
Would it make me famous if I break down in the press
And give them what they want, there's no effort to it
[Chorus]
Oh
The Hollywood sign don't catch my eye much anymore
Oh, ooh-ooh
Leave it to time to make me feel I'm getting old
I'm living with it
Give me the open mind that I had before
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, I'm a cynic
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before
[Bridge]
I miss the days when one was better than the last
I miss the taste of growing pains I knew would pass
Oh, I miss those thoughts and that fear of losing
[Chorus]
Oh
I don't know why I see no light in anything
Oh, ooh-ooh
Leave it to life to turn my strengths back into weaknesses
But I'm living with 'em
So give me the open mind that I had before
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, I'm a cynic
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
There's something missing darling, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living with it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I'm a cynic, darling, ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before1
