My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can t afford his gas
So I m stuck here watching tv
I don t have digital
I don t have diddly squat
It s not having what you want
It s wanting what you ve got
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I m gonna tell em that)
I ve got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I m looking up
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna soak up the sun
I ve got a crummy job
It don t pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I m looking up, you re looking down
Maybe something s wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I m gonna tell em that)
I ve got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I m looking up
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna soak up the sun
While it s still free
I m gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don t have no master suite
I m still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I m the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I m looking up, you re looking down
Maybe something s wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I m gonna tell em that)
I ve got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I m looking up
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna soak up the sun
I m gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on
