It's a Beautiful Day
A Beautiful Day: Embracing Life Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Sun was out
Sunny weather
The fish were swimming
Fish swimming
In choke polluted water
Water pollution
All the fishes
Fishes affected by toxins
Dying from them toxic
Seabees (Construction Battalion) dumping toxins in the stream
Seebees dumpin in our stream
Indifference to environmental issues
But we didn't give a fuck
Disregard for environmental concerns
Ya know we had some
Having American beer
Cheap american brews
Enjoying hot dogs
Ya know some nice hot dogs
Casual attitude towards the environment
Figured ya know...get out the
Casual attitude towards consequences
Little transistor radio,
Using a transistor radio
Sit back relax have a nice
Relaxing with a summer barbecue
Little summer barbecue
Enjoying a summer day
It's a beautiful,
Expressing beauty
What a beautiful,
It's a beautiful,
-Beautiful day,
Emphasizing a beautiful day
FOR A BARBECUE!
Highlighting it's suitable for a barbecue
well uh,
We uh sat back,
Reflecting on the surroundings
And down and looked into the air,
Observing the sky
All the sudden,
Sudden realization
Said, WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
Questioning an object in the sky
Is it a bird or a plane!?
Comic reference to Superman
steaks are done come and get em
Barbecue is ready
No one miss a barbeque
Urging everyone to join
Big fat sow sizzling and dripping
Describing a cooking pig
Archie meyer-we thank you!
Thanking Archie Meyer
For a beautiful
It's a beautiful
-It's a beautiful-beautiful day!
Reiterating a beautiful day
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful
-It's a beautiful-beautiful day!
Emphasizing beauty of the day
for a barbecue!
Repeating suitability for a barbecue
This time the hot dogs is you
Hot dogs metaphorically represented
Oh wow man, that makes me think of karma
Reflecting on karma
well as those first bombs start dropping
Reference to the start of a conflict
We wondered, where the hell is that transistor radio!
Search for information during crisis
You know, turn on what the newsman has to say
Turning to news for information
About one of those a-rab countries talkin 'bout a
Reference to Middle Eastern countries
FAILED NEGOTIATION?!
Critical view on negotiation failures
it's a beautiful
Reiterating a beautiful day
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful-beautiful day!
Emphasizing beauty of the day
For a barbecue!
Highlighting suitability for a barbecue
