Lyrics

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
