[00:21.20]Well, ain’t it a shame
[00:23.88]That our short little memories
[00:26.49]Never seem to learn
[00:28.87]The message of history
[00:31.47]We keep makin’ the same mistakes
[00:33.88]Over and over and over and over again
[00:37.46]And then we wonder why
[00:39.67]We’re in the shape we’re in
[00:43.73]Good ol’ boys down at the bar
[00:47.25]Peanuts and politics
[00:49.37]They think they know it all
[00:51.90]They don’t know much of nothing
[00:54.22]Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
[00:57.38]Cover-to-cover
[00:59.47]That ain’t what’s going on
[01:02.15]Journalism’s dead and gone
[01:05.00]Frail grasp on the big picture
[01:09.95]Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
[01:15.02]It’s a frail grasp on the big picture
[01:20.52]Dark ages
[01:35.04]You my love-drunk friend
[01:37.69]All that red wine and candlelight
[01:40.31]Soulful conversations
[01:42.27]That go on until the dawn
[01:45.31]How many times can you tell your story?
[01:48.68]How many hangovers can you endure
[01:52.33]Just to get some snuggling done?
[01:56.00]You’re living in a hollow dream
[01:58.34]You don’t have the slightest notion
[02:01.43]What long-term love is all about
[02:04.42]All your romantic liasons
[02:08.48]Don’t deal with eternal questions like
[02:11.69]Who left the cap off the freaking toothpaste?
[02:14.43]Whose turn to take the garbage out?
[02:16.49]Frail grasp on the big picture
[02:21.73]You keep on rubbin’ that, you’re gonna get a blister
[02:26.31]It’s a frail grasp on the big picture
[02:31.90]I’ve seen it all before
[03:09.80]And we pray to our Lord
[03:12.47]Who we know is American
[03:15.06]He reigns from on high
[03:17.07]He speaks to us through middlemen
[03:20.26]And he shepherds his flock
[03:22.85]We sing out and we praise His name
[03:25.48]He supports us in war
[03:28.08]He presides over football games
[03:30.80]And the right will prevail
[03:33.19]All our troubles shall be resolved
[03:35.93]We have faith in the Lord
[03:38.55]Unless there’s money or sex involved
[03:41.31]Frail grasp on the big picture
[03:45.96]Nobody’s calling them for roughing up the pitcher
[03:51.86]It’s a frail grasp on the big picture
[03:57.24]Heaven help us
[04:02.79]Frail grasp on the big picture
[04:07.49]All waiting for that miracle elixir
[04:13.02]Frail grasp on the big picture
[04:18.28]I don’t wonder anymore
