Frail Grasp On The Big Picture |
Well, ain’t it a shame |
'bout our short little memory? |
Never seem to learn |
The lessons of history |
We keep making the same mistakes |
Over and over and over and over again |
And then we wonder why |
We’re in the shape we’re in |
Good old boys down at the bar |
Peanuts and politics |
They think they know it all |
They don’t know much of nothing |
Even if one of them was to read a newspaper |
Cover-to-cover |
That ain’t what’s going on |
Journalism dead and gone |
Frail grasp on the big picture |
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
Dark ages |
You, my love-drunk friend |
All that red wine and candlelight |
Soulful conversations |
That go on until the dawn |
How many times can you tell your story? |
How many hangovers can you endure |
Just to get some snuggling done? |
You’re living in a hormone dream |
You don’t have the slightest notion |
What long-term love is all about |
All your romantic liaisons |
Don’t deal with eternal questions like |
«Who left the cap off the freaking toothpaste?» |
«Whose turn to take the garbage out?» |
Frail grasp on the big picture |
You keep on rubbing and you’re gonna get a blister |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
And I’ve seen it all before |
And we pray to our Lord |
Who we know is American |
He reigns from on high |
He speaks to us through middlemen |
And he shepherds his flock |
We sing out and we praise His name |
He supports us in war |
He presides over football games |
And the right will prevail |
All our troubles shall be resolved |
We have faith above all |
Unless there’s money or sex involved |
Frail grasp on the big picture (Nobody) |
Nobody’s calling and they’re roughing up the kicker |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
Heaven help us |
Frail grasp on the big picture |
All waiting for that miracle elixir |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
I don’t wonder anymore |
Frail grasp on the big picture (Somebody) |
You brought her here so go ahead and kiss her |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
Frail grasp on the big picture (Hold on, hold on) |
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker |
It’s a frail grasp on the big picture |
Frail grasp on the big picture |
Frail grasp on the big picture |
