Beautiful Life Lyrics - Messenger - 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? 

[Chorus] 

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]
