Walkin' On The Sun
Smash MouthInitially, the song tells the story of the early hippie movement. Then, a modern Gen X viewpoint is introduced.
"This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back"
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 shun,
you might as well be walkin' on the sun
Twenty five years ago
they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession & oppression & together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin' man
what the hell happened
Some were spell bound some were hell bound
Some they fell down and some got back up and
Fought against the melt down
And their kids are hippie chicks all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it
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 shun,
you might as well be walkin' on the sun
It ain't no joke
when mamma's handkerchief is soaked
With the tears
because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up so choke up
and focus on the closeup
Mr. Wizard can't perform no GOD like hocus pocus
So don't sit back kick back
and watch the world get bushwacked
News at 10:00 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
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 shun,
you might as well be walkin' on the sun
