TASTE THE GOOD LIFE

Hey, I got a new recipe for leisure
Just take a minute of your precious time
Add a cup of misery
To a bowl full of history
Then let it sit on the shelf
Till there's nothing on

Then stir in some third world warfare
Heat it up in some country you don't recognize
Book a table at the U.N.
I hope the chef knows what he's doing
Move it out of the headlines
Then move on

You are so special
So soft, so strong, like an eggshell
Shoot it don't shake it don't breathe it don't break it
This war is still good cause it's not past the date yet
Oops, the microwave says we're done
Starving out of season now is that a cause for treason
Would anybody guess that the kitchen is a mess
When the napkins are clean and the waiters so serene
Hear the dishwasher scream
He's not a member of the team
My wife lost her ring
I can't find a fucking thing

Taste the good life, take a big bite
You won't be able to swallow it all
It's a moral dilemma
When it comes time for your dinner
All those babies getting thinner
Thank God you were born with the winners
Tonight

Hey, taste the good life, oh that's better
