Not Mine but Colin Hay's

My my my, It’s a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free,
Or a woman if you are one
I like swimming in the sea

My my my, It’s a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
Roll the top down,
Sometimes I travel quite far
Drive to the ocean
Stare up at the stars

All around is anger, automatic guns
Death in large numbers, no respect for woman, or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold
Said he’d been swamped by calls this week
And He could not shake his cold

I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
Yeah this is as good as it gets
My my my, It’s a beautiful world

For now that’s good enough for me

(Beautiful World by Colin Hay from Going Somewhere 2000)
