Comfort and hard-won quiet, at what cost?

lyrics

Ain't it fine to have our little babes around us?
Our old TV and our coffeepot, and all the other things we've got
All safe and alone, with no one there to hound us

New shingle roof no little rain can drown us
We've never seen a lawn so green and we cut it all with a big machine
And that's alright
Our yard and fence surround us

Ain't it fine to have so much to hang on to?
They cash our checks at the grocery store, we don't have to know who lives next door, we don't have to think
If we don't want to

Ain't it fine to know our country is the best?
Though other people may think and read we know all that we really need
is the Bible
And the Reader's Digest

But look outside somebody's bombs are falling
And as they bend and break the sky, we have no time to question why
The last thing we hear
Our little babes are calling

Ain't it fine to have our little babes around us
Our old TV and our coffeepot, and all the other things we've got
All safe
And alone
With no one there to hound us
