lyrics

I'd like to tell you all about a little place called Sunnyville Valleytown. The kind of place where the sun perpetually shines and houses faces frozen in smiles. The smell of freshly cut grass lies thick in the Summer-drenched ambience and no-one seems to mind.

A pair of perfected woman jog down the street in scanty attire and they're greeted by their equally perfected peers who seem to be content with their gardening skills.

What a wonderful place.

It's the type of town where a wealthy young man would drive home in his convertible sports car after a long day at work and park it in his beautiful drive-way; leaving it unlocked and basking in the sun.

He'd walk his sculpted figure through his palatial home to the back yard where he'd greet his perfected wife, who's enjoying some UV rays next to an awe-inspiring swimming-pool.

What a wonderful place.

Oh yes, here, everyone is admired; everyone is wealthy. Not a single essence is unpleasant to the eye. And yet, in a place where everything is perfect, imperfections become entertainment. Yes indeed, and seeing as all have eluded their sincere selfs to strive for the common idea of a perfect human being, imperfections easily are pointed out. Sometimes violently so. Oh yes, it's a competition and everyone wants to win.

What a wonderful wonderful place...
