You might as well be walking on the sun.
"Walking on the Sun"
Smash Mouth

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QEPkPMMM_PI

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 it went out but it's back
It's just like any fad retracts before impact
And it's just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and hip
If ya got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in
The clique

(CHORUS):
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 walking on the sun

Twenty five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of depression and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bon fire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
Some were spell bound some were hell bound
Some they fell down and some got back up and
Fought back 'gainst the melt down
And their kids are hippie chicks and hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it

(CHORUS):
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 walking on the sun


It ain't no joke when 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With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked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 perform no god like hocus pocus
So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You got to be there when your babies are old enough to relate

(CHORUS):
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 walking on the sun


Might as well be walking on the sun...
Might as well be walking on the sun...
Might as well be walking on the sun...
Might as well be walking on the sun...



((I thought it was mindless '90's pop until I read the lyrics...))

2. Another exercise in futility.
Always did like that song.

3. Great song.
When I worked at my college newspaper as the dark room tech, the photo editor and I used to listen to that song while we were working. HE died of mysterious circumstances a few years ago, and now I smile, a tear comes to my eye and I think of him every time I hear it and All Star.
