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

I´m gonna soak up the sun
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´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

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

I´m gonna soak up the sun
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
While it´s still free
I´m gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Don´t have no master suite
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 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

I´m gonna soak up the sun
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
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on
