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 daily squat
It's not having what you want
Is wanting what you got
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that I've got no one to blame
Every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it take
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
Maybe I'm crazy too
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that I've got no one to blame
Every time I feel lame I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone to lighten up
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
Got no one to blame
Every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I got my forty five on
So I can rock on
