A       G                D            Em
Weekday mornings all the freeways are jammed
People talk about the death of the land
        G                       F
But the sign by the side of the road still says
Bm7                      E
"Where the good life begins"

Now, what's the use in tradin' your life
for an American Dream you've got to lock up at night?
Behind the door to your soul it's still back as coal

So who are you foolin' with that care-laden face?
Your subscription's run out to the human race
You thought you renewed when you paid your United Way dues

----------------------------------------------------------
But where will you go when your computer resigns,
And the clock on your desk finally runs out of time?
You've got to be...   Just be...
  A child again...
  Alive again...
  Home again
----------------------------------------------------------

Well it's tough to plan for tomorrow's demands
if the stars won't stop to obey your commands
--and the only light you've ever seen comes from your TV screen

You had the will to live and the heart to give
'til you buried the questions you found as a kid
in that rhinestone-encrusted shrine you call your mind

You've been around for thousands of years
but your future remains a history of fears
now, isn't it time you started to find
where the good life begins?

----------------------------------------------------------
But where will you go when your computer resigns,
And the clock on your desk finally runs out of time?
You've got to be...   Just be...
  A child again...
  Alive again...
  Home again.
