Another beautiful morning under stars and bars
And F series pickups and rusted out cars
And theyre 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 well all fly out to the Hard Rock casino
And well put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos
And well laugh at the guy in the El Camino
Is that the only car he could get?
Its a beautiful life
Its just as advertised
Its all for one low price
Just read the fine print, and youll be content
With your beautiful life
And record smoothies say, What a sound
Youre the greatest thing weve found
But youre gonna have to lose a few pounds
Were gonna put you on TV
And dont think our place is so swank
Dont worry about that guy, hes high on crank
Thats exactly why his last record tanked
And let that be a lesson to me
And all our churches glow
Communion wafers trash TV shows
Say, Hey, at least you dont have this strife
Cause youll be warm and safe
In your beautiful life
Yeah...
And its hard to tell whats true compassion
When its 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 theres nothing left on the planet left to save
And oxygen is the designer crusade
As we all fight to breathe...
