Beverly Hills

A couple of years ago Weezer had a song entitled Beverly Hills. I recently downloaded this song into my iPod. It makes a good running song...Yesterday I was listening to the words and I found them interesting......

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...Beverly Hills -
Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...

Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
Cause I'm the next big thing!

The truth is...I don't stand a chance
Its something that you're born into...
And I just don't belong...No I don't -
I'm just a no class, beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play

"My live sucks" seems to be what these guys are trying to say...especially compared to those people in Beverly Hills. And only those people in Beverly Hills have discovered real life...I can't achieve Beverly Hills...you have to be born into it...it has to be handed to you. So since I can't attain it...I will settle with this insignificant life I have been given. Jesus said, "I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." Jesus has come to bring significance and hope, and he welcomes everyone. Jesus says...welcome to Beverly Hills!
