Well, ain't it a shame that 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 The good old boys down at the bar The peanuts in politics They think they know it all But 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 Failed best on the big picture Night fainting and the fog is getting thicker Failed best on the big picture Dark ages You my love drunk friend All that red wine and candlelight And so for 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 snagging done You're living in a hollow 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 freakin' toothpaste Who's turn to take this garbage out Failed best on the big picture You keep on rubbing that you're gonna get a blister Failed best on the big picture 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 *** involved Failed best on the big picture Nobody, nobody's calling them For roughing up the difference Failed, failed best on the big, big picture Heaven, heaven Failed best on the big, big picture Oh, we are that miracle, miracle Failed best on the big picture I don't want it anymore Failed best on the big, big picture You brought it here, so throw it in the dust Failed best on the big picture Failed best on the big, big picture My life ain't enough, I'll give anything Failed best on the big picture Failed best on the big picture Failed best on the big picture Failed best on the big picture
