Something beautiful happened in the church house
But it didn't have to do with God
And something beautiful happened in the court house
But it didn't have to deal with the law
Something beautiful happened in the theater
But it didn't have to do with the play
And all this beautiful is smuggled like a secret
And it doesn't have to be that way
'Cause something beautiful gets shot down every day
Oh!
And nothing so obscene could ever dream to take its place
They keep us splashing in the wet work, wet work
So they can cash in on the network, network
"Lets get connected while the text is corrected"
Love, it doesn't have to be that way
And now my brother, he got shot up in the greenhouse
He was researching the cure
And now my sister, she got locked up in the jailhouse
But she didn't even know what for
And now my cousin, he got strung up outside the courthouse
He was challenging the case
Something beautiful will always surround us
But its just too easy to erase
And something beautiful gets shot down in every place
And something beautiful happened at the border
Oh!
And something beautiful happened on the corner
Oh!
Now nothing beautiful is happening in every way
They keep us splashing in the wet work, wet work
So they can cash in on the network, network
"Soft opposition if you play your position"
Love, it doesn't have to be that way
One thousand clouds so peaceful
Vanished in a din
Of rhythms from a helicopter
Turn me up, don't turn me in
The sound was deafening it tore into the bedroom
And it didn't have to do with God
We loved each other like a bomb loves a body
And it didn't have to do with the law
I forgot the sheets, the heat, the gentle weaponry
I won't forget the look on your face
The loudest bomb is quieter than an eyelash
Against the fabric of your pillowcase
