Lyrics
Pollyanna
You once called me Pollyanna
You scoffed when I said I’d been inspired
You said; “Open your eyes and see reality,
It’s just a conspiracy!”
You once called me Pollyanna
You said; “Don’t be naïve,
Only suckers believe,
In time they’ll beat it out of you too.”
He said, “As for me,
I’m enlightened and free.
I’d take the red pill –
Who wants to be happy?”
You once called me Pollyanna
Who knows what’s truth or lie anyway?
Some say that ignorance is bliss
I’m not sure I buy into this
But I’d really believe the best
Believe they flew to the stars
