Frail Grasp On The Big Picture – Eagles – letras

Well, ain’t it a shameThat our short little memoriesNever seem to learnThe message of historyWe keep makin’ the same mistakesOver and over and over and over againAnd then we wonder whyWe’re in the shape we’re inGood ol’ boys down at the barPeanuts and politicsThey think they know it allThey don’t know much of nothingEven if one of them was to read the newspaperCover-to-coverThat ain’t what’s going onJournalism’s dead and goneFrail grasp on the big pictureLight fading and the fog is getting thickerIt’s a frail grasp on the big pictureDark agesYou my love-drunk friendAll that red wine and candlelightSoulful conversationsThat go on until the dawnHow many times can you tell your story?How many hangovers can you endureJust to get some snuggling done?You’re living in a hollow dreamYou don’t have the slightest notionWhat long-term love is all aboutAll your romantic liasonsDon’t deal with eternal questions likeWho left the cap off the freaking toothpaste?Whose turn to take the garbage out?Frail grasp on the big pictureYou keep on rubbin’ that, you’re gonna get a blisterIt’s a frail grasp on the big pictureI’ve seen it all beforeAnd we pray to our LordWho we know is AmericanHe reigns from on highHe speaks to us through middlemenAnd he shepherds his flockWe sing out and we praise His nameHe supports us in warHe presides over football gamesAnd the right will prevailAll our troubles shall be resolvedWe have faith in the LordUnless there’s money or sex involvedFrail grasp on the big pictureNobody’s calling them for roughing up the pitcher (?)It’s a frail grasp on the big pictureHeaven help usFrail grasp on the big pictureAll waiting for that miracle elixirFrail grasp on the big pictureI don’t wonder anymoreFrail grasp on the big pictureSomebody says, \ »You brought her here so go ahead and kiss herFrail grasp on the big pictureFrail grasp on the big pictureLight fading and the fog is getting thickerIt’s a frail grasp on the big pictureFrail grasp on the big pictureFrail grasp on the big picture
