Life Is Grand

Fred a workingman sudden relaxes

Because he's got to pay his taxes

Although he like to go on vacation

He regrets he can't afford inflation



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



The local grocery super market

Is hunting for him for a target

They'd like to put on his back the cross

Of all their expenses and all their costs



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



While crucifying the farmer dies

He can't afford to buy supplies

They pay him less but prices rise

And no one stops to wonder why



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



Now lets rejoice about nuclear waste

The house by the plant is a lovely place

I like the scenery by the lake

By why did that poison have to leak



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



God made a lovely world here

But man had to go and make it prettier

With chemicals and scientific spells

It might be safer to live in hell



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



And on the subject of Christmas time

Say what is the meaning of the rhyme

Buying of coarse the commercial's say

And bother are kids day after day



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



With toys they want and toys they need

Toys they've got to have if they ever will succeed

While selling us toys that break

Toys with mistakes our wallets they rape



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



Now you may say that this is bad

For me to sing about things so sad

I must admit it could be worse

Any moment a nuclear bomb could burst



Life is Grand

Life is Grand



With everyone getting aids and cancer

Death ain't coming slower it's just coming faster

With everyone getting aids and cancer

Death ain't coming slower it's just coming faster
