            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 Well, ain't it a shame 
That our short little memory 
Never seem to learn 
The lessons 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 
They don't know much of nothing. 
Even if one of them was to read a newspaper 
Cover-to-cover 
That ain't what's going on 
Journalism's dead and gone. 
Frail grasp on the big picture 
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker 
It's a frail grasp on the big picture 
Dark ages. 
You my love-drunk friend 
All that red wine and candlelight 
Soulful conversations 
That go on until the dawn. 
How many times can you tell your story? 
How many hangovers can you endure 
Just to get some snogging done? 
You're living in a hormone 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? 
Whose turn to take the garbage out? 
Frail grasp on the big picture 
You keep on rubbin' that, you're gonna get a blister 
It's a frail grasp on the big picture 
I've seen it all before. 
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 games. 
And the right will prevail 
All our troubles shall be resolved 
We hold faith above all 
Unless there's money or sex involved. 
Frail grasp on the big picture 
Nobody's calling them for roughing up the kicker 
It's a frail grasp on the big picture 
Heaven help 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 
It's a frail grasp on the big picture. 
Frail grasp on the big picture 
Frail grasp on the big picture.
