1. My friend’s a communist, holds meetings in his R.V,

2. I don't have digital, I don't have didley squat,

1. I can't afford his gas, so I'm stuck here watching T.V.

2. it's not having what you want, it’s wanting what you've got.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, gonna tell everyone to lighten up. I'm gonna tell ‘em that

I got no one to blame, but everytime I feel lame I'm looking up.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna soak up the sun.

3. I've got a crummy job, it don't pay near enough

to buy the things it takes, to win me some of your love.

Every time I turn around, I'm lookin up, you’re looking down,

maybe somthings wrong with you that makes you act the way you do.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, while it’s still free.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, before it goes out on me.

4. Don't have no master suite, but I'm still the king of me,

you have a fancy ride, but baby, I'm the one who has the key.

Every time I turn around, I'm lookin up, you’re looking down,

maybe something’s wrong with you that makes you act the way you do,

maybe I am crazy, too.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, gonna tell everyone to lighten up. I'm gonna tell em that

I got no one to blame, but everytime I feel lame I'm looking up.

I'm gonna soak up the sun, I got my 45 on so I can rock on.
