lyrics

Moving people like grains of sand
An impish grin and the back of his hand
Smiling dumbly across the land
Designer jeans, a California tan
He doesn't know what he thinks he knows
Looking smug in the emperor's clothes
So kind, no mind
He's replacing a peanut, got the mind of a doughnut

CHORUS
Going down to a place I know
Where the guys and the chicks who are hip all go
You can stop your worries, turn your mind down low
Just reach for a peach on Bikini Beach

Generation's going down the tubes
All freaked out on MTV and some 'ludes
Looking good, they follow all of the rules
Made to measure, they're designer fools
They think they're cool in their daddy's car
Come on children and vote for a star
He's kind, no mind
Get that makeup right now
Embalming fluid at night now

The price of national pride is high
And now there's nowhere left to hide

Looking down the American coast
Land of the free and those Classical Cokes
Bikini cover-ups fool ordinary folks
They're just a series of political jokes
Lock up your troubles on a private beach
Smart decisions just out of reach
For you, and me
He's got you in the reserve now
Get just what you deserve and how
