lyrics

December 2 ,1993

I was driving down Lankershim today and I had a comforting thought
For years I believed that 90% of the people in the world were useless and should die
This thought accompanied me and sometimes kept me warm
But today I thought about how many wonderful people I've met in the last couple of years
In fact the vast majority of people I've had contact with recently have been wonderful
And if I am to take them as a representative sampling then most people in the world are wonderful
This made me kinda happy
And I took the newspapers to recycle them
And I got some Kleenex for my poor wife who's sick today and then I brought them to her

(This beautiful world is a fantasy, not unlike the fairy tales of old.
If you're smart you'll do what you're told. If beautiful world is depressing you,
simply call this number if you're bold. We'll gladly lead you back to the fold.)

And I worked on the Hungarian part of the instrumental with Dweezil at Joe's Garage
And it was a lot of fun
And I met Linda and Lisa from Rock City News at the Cat & Fiddle
They were great and it was a good interview, I had fun
Then I went to Aron's and got the "Generic Flipper" CD for $1.98
So apart from Viv being sick it was a great day
And while I was driving west on Wilshire to see Chad Wackerman Someone driving east threw a heavy object at my car
And cracked the windshield
A big crack
Screwed up the antenna too
It could have killed me and they never would have known
So I want to thank that person for reminding me
That in this world there are people who should just die

(This beautiful world is a fantasy, not unlike the fairy tales of old.
If you're smart you'll do what you're told. If beautiful world is depressing you,
simply call this number if you're bold. We'll gladly lead you back to the fold.)

(This beautiful world is a fantasy, not unlike the fairy tales of old.
If you're smart you'll do what you're told. If beautiful world is depressing you,
simply call this number if you're bold.
We'll gladly lead you.)
