Year: 1989
Another year's gone by
The world's grown older
Sometimes I heave a sigh
People grow colder
Every day I do my best to show
I can make it in this world I know
But all the bad thoughts that people bring
My faith in human nature's getting pretty thin
Help me get through these cynical days
Help me get through my cynical ways
You say, it's just a passing phase
You've got to help me get through, these cynical days
Another see through scheme
People are shallow
The dark night's closing in
My dark thoughts follow
I try and make my world a better place
(My efforts seem in vain)
But I'm competing in a human race
(Falling deeper down the drain)
That value things that just don't count
Makes me wonder what it's all about
Help me get through these cynical days
Help me get through my cynical ways
You say, it's just a passing phase
You've got to help me get through, these cynical days
Yeah, you say, it's just a passing phase
You've got to help me get through, these cynical days
Yeah, you say, it's just a passing phase
You've got to help me get through, these cynical days
Yeah, you say, it's just a passing phase
You've got to help me get through, these cynical days
Cynical days
Cynical days
