My my my its a beautiful world

I like swimming in the sea

All around is anger, automatic guns

Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Still this emptiness persists

When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes

Yeah this is as good as it gets
