Story Behind The Song
I constructed the hook based on octave movement in the right-hand keyboard part, then added the guitar around it. It has a sort of New Wave quality to it (this was written actually in the early 90's), making it instantly dated :)

Lyrics
I?ve been a little bit hard on this world
I?ve been a little hard on this world, I know
I?ve been a little bit cold to this world
I?ve been a little cold to this world, I know
But that?s gotta go
Chorus:
If the world is better than yesterday
Am I a fool to believe it?
If the world?s no better than yesterday
Than I?m a fool to believe it
I?ve been a cynic for so many years
I?ve lost love and drowned in the tears for you
Got tired of living a life with no goals
I begged, borrowed and stole for my soul, it?s true
No point of view
(Chorus)
