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 o
CHORUS]
I'm gonna soak up the sun 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 o 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
CHORUS]
I'm gonna soak up the sun 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 o 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
CHORUS]
I'm gonna soak up the sun 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 o 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.
