The Single Pint of Failure - Don't Believe in Hope

from SpinTunes 20 Round 1 by Spintunes

	/

about

What would you do if the world was ending and you only had one opportunity to save it?

Would you hope for the best?

Or would you work for it?

This song borrows heavily from the movie Interstellar and sits 13 beats per minute away from 100.

lyrics

I believe
that we have made a mess of this place
and I understand
that sorrow’s only half a step away
and I know
that we have got a calling to chase
and I can’t escape
the feeling that we’re letting everything decay

do you believe
that we can just continue on the same
and never leave
and somehow make the blight just slip away?
and can it be
there’s secrets in the books and underneath
and is it me
they’re calling on to save eternity?

and I believe
that we can not sit back
and wait for these things
to happen

we’ve got to work
got to work
got to work
got to wotk
got to work
work
work
work
work
work
work it out!

and I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe it

I believe
plan a is better for us than plan b
and I can see
the stars have got the answers that we need
and can I find
a way to send a message back to me?
and gravity
and time will tell you everything you need to know

and I believe
that we can not sit back
and wait for these things
to happen

we’ve got to work
got to work
got to work
got to wotk
got to work
work
work
work
work
work
work it out!

and I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe in hope
I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe it
