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
