Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun

It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke

And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony

And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars

Hey, I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe

This is a love attack, I know, went out but it's back

It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact

And just like fashion, it's a passion for the with it and hip

If you got the goods, they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique

So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out

Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive

And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow

But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun

Twenty-five years ago, they spoke out and they broke out

Of recession and oppression and together they toked

And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire

Just singin' and clappin', man, what the hell happened there?

Some were spellbound, some were hell bound

Some they fell down and some got back up

And fought back against the melt-down

And their kids were hippie chicks or hypocrites

Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it

So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out

Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive

And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow

But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun

And it ain't no joke when our mama's handkerchief is soaked

With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked

The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up

Mr. Wizard can't reform, no God-like hocus-pocus

So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked

News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack

Put away the crack before the crack put you away

You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate

So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out

Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive

And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow

But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun

(You might as well be walkin' on the sun)
