Just finally read the lyrics.............
Artist: Smash Mouth
Album: Fush Yu Mang
Title: Walkin' On The Sun
quote:
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
CHORUS: So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your 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 and opression and together they toked
and they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
just singin' and clapin' man what the hell happened
yes, 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
CHORUS: So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your 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 hankercheif 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with the tears because her baby's life has been revoked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 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
CHORUS: So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow, if your 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
i'd up load the song.. but Collarme i doubt will allow it. = ) Its an old song, but i think that the message still needs to be heard, and re heard. i put in bold certian things, things to think about. The song is about Standing Up and doing something about all the crap out there we see. What they tried to do years and years ago. Its got abit of idealism in it (for the world to sing in harmony), but that doesnt mean people should stop trying. Granted the hippie movement had alot of drugs in it, but it wasnt about getting high. Drugs, were/are a way to band together, it is also a "sub" culture and the sub culture suffers almost the same thing this sub culture does. Intolerance, mis understood, ect. People tend when there in a "sub" culture to learn tolderance and open mindedness, among other things. Hippies are tolerant, open minded people, who lost the judgemental black and white, normal societial feelings and thoughts.
Good people out there, life and love and happiness is UNDER ATTACK. Watch the news. Yeah i think the world is going to the dogs. i think that if enough ppl stood up...... There is no such thing as a one man army.
