Beautiful World

My, my, my it's a beautiful world I like swimming in the sea I like to go out beyond the white breakers Where a man can still be free Or a woman if you are one I like swimming in the sea Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world I like drinking Irish tea With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong I like making my own tea Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world I like driving in my car I'll roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far And drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars I like driving in my car All around is anger And automatic guns It's death in large numbers No respect for women or our little ones I tried talking to Jesus But He just put me on hold Said, "He'd been swamped by calls this week He could not shake His cold" And still this emptiness persists Perhaps this is as good as it gets You've given up the drink And those nasty cigarettes I leave the party early, at least with no regrets I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets Yeah, this is as good as it gets So my, my, my it's a beautiful world I like swimming in the sea I like to go out beyond the white breakers Where a man can still be free Or a woman if you are one I like swimming in the sea Yeah
