Beautiful Life Lyrics

Artist: Edwin McCain
Album: Messenger

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
