《Beautiful Thing》歌词

[00:00:00] Beautiful Thing - Slaid Cleaves

[00:00:08] Surrogates and shadowy henchmen galore

[00:00:12] Party hacks and swift boating talk show whores

[00:00:16] Look at all the lies it takes the job of making kings

[00:00:23] You can own the truth you just gotta conceive it

[00:00:28] Put it on the television screen they'll believe it

[00:00:32] It's a beautiful thing

[00:00:35] It's a beautiful thing

[00:00:44] We wonder how our leaders could ever deceive us

[00:00:48] While the profiteers count their cash and praise Jesus

[00:00:52] The press sings another chorus of let freedom ring

[00:01:00] We send our boys away to come home in parts

[00:01:04] Believe the lies with all our hearts

[00:01:08] It's a beautiful thing

[00:01:11] It's a beautiful thing

[00:01:16] Dissention is a song only fools and traitors sing

[00:01:24] Just look at all the benefits your global economy brings

[00:01:32] Today we sing the gilded age's song

[00:01:36] The 20th century's dead and gone

[00:01:39] It's a beautiful thing

[00:01:43] It's a beautiful thing

[00:02:25] I live in a land of hope and betrayal

[00:02:29] I get up each morning try to tell the tale

[00:02:32] And so until my dying day whatever fate may bring

[00:02:41] A dark age looms there's evil at hand

[00:02:44] Somehow I still believe in the goodness of man

[00:02:49] It's a beautiful thing

[00:02:51] It's a beautiful thing
