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 diddly-squat

It's not having what you want

It's wanting what you've got



Refrain:

I'm gonna soak up the sun.

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up



I'm gonna tell them that:

I've got noone to blame-

For everytime I feel lame

I'm lookin' up



I've got a crummy job

It don't pay near enough

To buy the things it take

To win me some of your love



Everytime 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



Refrain:

I'm gonna soak up the sun.

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up



I'm gonna tell them that:

I've got noone to blame-

For everytime I feel lame

I'm lookin' up



[I'm gonna soak up the sun

The water's still free]



Don't have no master's suite

But I'm still the king of me

You have a fancy ride, but baby

I'm the one who has the key



Everytime 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

Maybe I am crazy, too



Refrain:

I'm gonna soak up the sun.

I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up



I'm gonna tell them that:

I've got noone to blame-

For everytime I feel lame

I'm lookin' up



I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got my 45 on

So I can rock on
