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
Chorus
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone - To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame - I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
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
Pre-chorus
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
Chorus
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
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
Pre-chorus
Chorus x2
I'm gonna soak up the sun - Got my 45 on - So I can rock on
