This lyric uses spiritual satire and spiritual irony.  The assumed perspective is an example of incorrect viewing and living of life.

Lyrics

Such a Pretty Life
 
Such a pretty house
Such a pretty wife
Such a pretty car
Such a pretty life
 
I live in Beverly Hills with a tree
And I guess you could say I'm free
I've spent most of my life living the American dream
I went to college and got my degree
Then I got myself a family
I've got all a man could want and I'm going ahead full steam
 
The boss thinks I'm a whiz
Cause I know just how to work the biz
I'm moving up the company ladder three rungs at a time
I've got an office on the thirty-fifth floor
With my name outside the door
I'm gonna own the block someday, it's just a matter of time
 
Everyday I thank god I'm alive
And for giving me the right
To justify and enjoy the life I'm living
I'll be happy till the day I die
Even though I don't know why
I'm doing all this with the short time I've been given
