Another beautiful morning under stars and bars â'‚¬¢ And F series pickups and rusted out cars â'‚¬¢ And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar â'‚¬¢ Just to have a peekâ'‚¬¦ â'‚¬¢ And the beer soaked angels spread their wings â'‚¬¢ And dream of twenties and diamonds and things â'‚¬¢ And somehow that might ease the sting â'‚¬¢ Of the company they keep â'‚¬¢ Yeahâ'‚¬¦ â'‚¬¢ And the vets still talk about the tet offensive â'‚¬¢ And the freshmen boys all look so pensive â'‚¬¢ Because living large is so expensive â'‚¬¢ Hope daddy fueled the jetâ'‚¬¦ â'‚¬¢ And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino â'‚¬¢ And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos â'‚¬¢ And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino â'‚¬¢ Is that the only car he could get? â'‚¬¢ It's a beautiful life â'‚¬¢ It's just as advertised â'‚¬¢ It's all for one low price â'‚¬¢ Just read the fine print, and you'll be content â'‚¬¢ With your beautiful life â'‚¬¢ And record smoothies say "What a sound" â'‚¬¢ You're the greatest thing we've found â'‚¬¢ But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds â'‚¬¢ We're gonna put you on TV â'‚¬¢
And don't think our place is so swank â'‚¬¢ Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank â'‚¬¢ That's exactly why his last record tanked â'‚¬¢ And let that be a lesson to me â'‚¬¢ Chorus â'‚¬¢ And all our churches glow â'‚¬¢ Communion wafers trash TV shows â'‚¬¢ Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife" â'‚¬¢ 'Cause you'll be warm and safe â'‚¬¢ In your beautiful life â'‚¬¢ Yeahâ'‚¬¦â'‚¬¢ And it's hard to tell what's true compassion â'‚¬¢ When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion â'‚¬¢ And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe â'‚¬¢ And I hope I never see the day â'‚¬¢ When there's nothing left on the planet left to save â'‚¬¢ And oxygen is the designer crusade â'‚¬¢ As we all fight to breatheâ'‚¬¦â'‚¬¢ Chorus
