Beautiful Life
Another beautiful morning under stars and bars â"š¬ And F series pickups and rusted out cars â"š¬ And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar â"š¬ Just to have a peekâ"š¬ â"š¬ And the beer soaked angels spread their wings â"š¬ And dream of twenties and diamonds and things â"š¬ And somehow that might ease the sting â"š¬ Of the company they keep â"š¬ Yeahâ"š¬ â"š¬ And the vets still talk about the tet offensive â"š¬ And the freshmen boys all look so pensive â"š¬ Because living large is so expensive â"š¬ Hope daddy fueled the jetâ"š¬ â"š¬ And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino â"š¬ And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos â"š¬ And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino â"š¬ Is that the only car he could get? â"š¬ It's a beautiful life â"š¬ It's just as advertised â"š¬ It's all for one low price â"š¬ Just read the fine print, and you'll be content â"š¬ With your beautiful life â"š¬ And record smoothies say "What a sound" â"š¬ You're the greatest thing we've found â"š¬ But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds â"š¬ We're gonna put you on TV â"š¬
And don't think our place is so swank â"š¬ Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank â"š¬ That's exactly why his last record tanked â"š¬ And let that be a lesson to me â"š¬ Chorus â"š¬ And all our churches glow â"š¬ Communion wafers trash TV shows â"š¬ Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife" â"š¬ 'Cause you'll be warm and safe â"š¬ In your beautiful life â"š¬ Yeahâ"š¬â"š¬ And it's hard to tell what's true compassion â"š¬ When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion â"š¬ And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe â"š¬ And I hope I never see the day â"š¬ When there's nothing left on the planet left to save â"š¬ And oxygen is the designer crusade â"š¬ As we all fight to breatheâ"š¬â"š¬ Chorus
