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
