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