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, 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's shunned, you might as well be walking 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? Then some were spellbound, some were hellbound Some, they fell down, and some got back up And fought back 'gainst the meltdown And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it
It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up Mr.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 puts you away You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate
Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
The years start coming and they don't stop coming You might as well be walking on the sun
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder Don't act like I never told ya (You might as well be walking on the sun) You're bundled up now but wait till you get older Don't act like I never told ya (You might as well be walking on the sun) It's a cool place and they say it gets colder Don't act like I never told ya (You might as well be walking on the sun) You're bundled up now but wait till you get older Don't act like I Walking on the sun
