When you're young, everybody wants to go far
Whether its to the moon or driving a convertible car
I do both and I go as fast as I can
I get my top down, my rockets on, so you can
Get your rocks off, oh you're such a man
My parents would hate to hear me say it
but the game is beautiful, and so are the players
Hey life is great
yeah life is great
moving to LA
From the Show Me state
hey life is great
we find ways to compensate
Beautiful bodies, they're are works of art
with sculptured flesh, and plastic covering their hearts
Star, wanted to star in feature films
but now she's featured in those different scenes
Yeah so
You know the scars don't show
Push hard, now you know you were gonna get away
From the confining lines of life, it's the American way
Hey life is great
yeah life is great
we'll be praying for soul to be saved
watching my face
Oh so profane on a videotape
The industry reflects
That you are all into me, I guess
Souls sinning in secrecy, confess
Whose lives are a mess? Whose lives are a mess?
I drove into emptiness
on the 101
while the sun was setting on the west
The valley sleeps
away it's past
Suburban backyards are silent
I get a roar of automotive violence
Whose moans rumble through the darkness
Wealth does not mean sadness.
Wealth does not breed sadness.
By the swimming pool
in the vestibule
on the stairs, in the cars
I whisper the words of my co-stars?
To keep him hard
To help me concentrate
Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe in wait 'til it's too late
To appreciate, that life is great
Yeah life is great, and we find ways to celebrate
Do you appreciate, do you appreciate?
That life is great, and we find ways to celebrate
