I am driving in a pretty nice car
I am riding by a beautiful beach
In the morning I jump up
And make sure
To be clear
To tell myself
Today is a great day to do what I gotta do
Don’t think those terrible things
We can be civil, we can be kind
Honesty is in the way you say it
I think you can feel fine
If you say what you need to say
And don’t worry about what you don’t have
You’re living in a pretty nice home
You’re walking down a pretty nice street
In the morning I jump up
And make sure
To be clear
To tell myself
Today is a great day to do what I gotta do
Nice clothes
Nice stores
Neon signs, cars and lines
News images start to blind
Big business, shoe polish
Is this not the American dream?
I think it’s more about the idea
Then the patina or the sheen
You’re living in a pretty big world
You’ve had a pretty good ride
In the morning I jump up
And make sure
To be clear
To tell myself
Today is a great day to do what I gotta do
What did we consume?
Who are these people in this room?
What is our tax and our expense?
I think we can get on just fine
The air is full of light
The breath we take is full of life
Do we need any more?
It is a big, big basketball gym
And the game has to end
But who is gonna lose
And who is gonna win?
Does it matter?
Turn off the T.V. and tune out the chatter
In the morning I jump up
And make sure
To be clear
To tell myself
Today is a great day to do what I gotta do
