Well, ain't it a shame
That our short little memories
Never seem to learn
Th e message of history
We keep makin' the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over again
And then we wonder why
We 're in the shape we're in
Good ol' boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
Th ey don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
Cover-to-cover
That ain't what's going on
Journalism's d ead and gone
Frail g rasp on the big p ic ture
Light f ading and the fog is getting thicker
It's a frail g rasp on the big p icture
Dark ag es
You my love-drunk friend
All that red wine and candlelight
Soulful conversations
Th at go on until the dawn
How many times can you tell your story?
How many hangovers can you endure
Just to get s ome snuggling done?
You're living in a hollow dream
You don't have the slightest notion
What long-term love is all about
All your romantic liaisons
Don't deal with eternal questions like
Who left the cap off the freaking toothpaste?
Wh ose turn to take the garbage out?
Frail g rasp on the big p icture
You keep on r ubbin' that, you're gonna get a b lister
It's a frail gr asp on the big p icture
I've se en it all before
B/Bsus4/B B/Bsus4/B B/Bsus4/B G/A
B/Bsus4/B B/Bsus4B/B/Bsus4/B G/A
And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And he shepherds his flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football g ames
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We have faith in the Lord
Unless there's money or s ex involved
Frail g rasp on the big p icture
Nobod y's c alling them for roughing up the p itcher
It's a frail gr asp on the big picture
Heave n h elp us
Frail grasp on the big picture
All waiting for that miracle elixir
Frail grasp on the big picture
I don't wonder anymore
Frail grasp on the big picture
Somebody says, 'You brought her here so go ahead and kiss her
Frail grasp on the big picture
Frail grasp on the big picture
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B G A B
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Frail grasp on the big picture
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bm Bsus4 B G A
Frail grasp on the big picture
