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
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it take
To win me some of your love
Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
[I'm gonna soak up the sun
The water's still free]
Don't have no master's suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy, too
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got my 45 on
So I can rock on
