Soak Up The Sun

[Verse 1]

My friend the communist

Holds meetings in his RV

I can't afford his gas

So I'm stuck here watching TV

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 lookin' up

[Post-Chorus]

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun

[Verse 3]

I've got a crummy job

It don't pay near enough

To buy the things it'd take

To win me some of your love

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time 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

[Chorus]

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 lookin' up

[Verse 4]

Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to the land

That you understand

Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe

Is a real trip

[Chorus]

Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand

Soaking up the thirst of the land

Ocean man

[Guitar Solo]

Ocean man

Ocean man

[Chorus]

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 lookin' up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
