"Beautiful Life" by Edwin McCain

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
