Beautiful Thing - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]
Surrogates and shadowy henchmen galore[00:00:08]
Party hacks and swift boating talk show whores[00:00:12]
Look at all the lies it takes the job of making kings[00:00:16]
You can own the truth you just gotta conceive it[00:00:23]
Put it on the television screen they'll believe it[00:00:28]
It's a beautiful thing[00:00:32]
It's a beautiful thing[00:00:35]
We wonder how our leaders could ever deceive us[00:00:44]
While the profiteers count their cash and praise Jesus[00:00:48]
The press sings another chorus of let freedom ring[00:00:52]
We send our boys away to come home in parts[00:01:00]
Believe the lies with all our hearts[00:01:04]
It's a beautiful thing[00:01:08]
It's a beautiful thing[00:01:11]
Dissention is a song only fools and traitors sing[00:01:16]
Just look at all the benefits your global economy brings[00:01:24]
Today we sing the gilded age's song[00:01:32]
The 20th century's dead and gone[00:01:36]
It's a beautiful thing[00:01:39]
It's a beautiful thing[00:01:43]
I live in a land of hope and betrayal[00:02:25]
I get up each morning try to tell the tale[00:02:29]
And so until my dying day whatever fate may bring[00:02:32]
A dark age looms there's evil at hand[00:02:41]
Somehow I still believe in the goodness of man[00:02:44]
It's a beautiful thing[00:02:49]
It's a beautiful thing[00:02:51]
