High Hopes

(album: Gorilla Biscuits - 1988)

When you're on your high horse and things aren't going your way
You really don't appreciate what you wanted bad yesterday
But if I lost it I'd still be the same
It won't break my spirit I'll look ahead just the same

Times are hard it's true
But I'll cope
But it won't get me down cause I got
High hopes

When you're on the bottom the place to look is up
When things are getting better, don't say enough
What you achieve that's for you to choose
You can always regain what you lose

Something shitty happens and it hurts
But I'll cope
It's time we all had
High hopes

Some people can't rebound when hardship hits their life
When they lose something they love and their friend's holding the knife
Pick your head up, get off the fucking ground
These high hopes that I have keep me from getting down

High hopes
