Extreme was a "funk metal" band formed in Boston in 1985-86 consisting of guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist Pat Badger and drummer Paul Geary (later replaced by drum god Mike Mangini). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, as well as Beatlesque pop and touches of lounge jazz. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop —their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream — it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but recieved diminished attention from the mainstream following the grungeexplosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind"in 1991.

Cynical Lyrics

Extreme

today don't look so bad,compared to tomorrow
if time is all we have,then we're living on borrowed
yesterday's for fools who try to,try to remember(try to remember)
the good ol' days weren't always that much better

'Cause I'm a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

To be a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

And whatever you do, someone's done it first
though it's sad but true this is just another verse
if you can't take it with you then what's the use
(What's the use) What's the use
I never saw a u-haul being pulled behind, pulled behind a hearse

'Cause I'm a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

To be a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

looks like my brighter side
has gotten a bit darker
i must have stepped over
my four leaf clover
'cause someone drank my
half-filled cup of water

(SOLO)

Cynical (fuck)
I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
I don't wanna be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what
To be a cynical (fuck)
I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
I don't wanna be a cynical (fuck)
Cynical (fuck)
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is what...yeah!
