Lyric 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
