Aimee Mann ~ The Fall Of The World's Own Optimist


There's no charity in you And that surprises me I guess i thought you were a golden idol Cause i called you majesty On the balustrade You watched me hunt for tips i was obliged to pick up From the passing trade Hey, kids--look at this It's the fall of the world's own optimist I could get back up if you insist But you'll have to ask politely Cause the eggshells i've been treading Couldn't spare me a beheading And i'll know i had it coming From a caesar who was only slumming Hey, kids--look at this It's the fall of the world's own optimist Well, i could have objections Which you could override But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse When the horseman has up and died Once i testified And swore i'd never leave a stone unturned-- I bet you're really glad that i lied Hey, kids--look at this It's the fall of the world's own optimist I could get back up if you insist But you'll have to ask politely Cause the eggshells i've been treading Couldn't spare me a beheading And i'll know i had it coming From a caesar who was only slumming Hey, kids--look at this It's the fall of the world's own optimist Hey, kids--look at this It's the fall of the world's own optimist I could get back up if you insist But you'll have to ask politely Yes, you'll have to ask politely Yes, you'll have to ask more free lyrics

There's no charity in you
And that surprises me
I guess i thought you were a golden idol
Cause i called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips i was obliged to pick up
From the passing trade

Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells i've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And i'll know i had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist

Well, i could have objections
Which you could override
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once i testified
And swore i'd never leave a stone unturned--
I bet you're really glad that i lied

Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells i've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And i'll know i had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist

Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
