Lyrics:

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 shunned

You might as well be walking on the Sun

Twenty-five years ago, they spoke out and they broke out

Of recession and oppression and together they toked

And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire

Just singin' and clappin', man, what the hell happened?

Then some were spellbound, some were hellbound

Some, they fell down and some got back up

And fought back against the meltdown

And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites

Because fashion is smashing 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 shunned

You might as well be walking on the sun

It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked

With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked

The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up

Mr. Wizard can't perform no god-like hocus-pocus

So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked

News at ten, 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 shunned

You might as well be walking on the sun

Songwriter:

You might as well be walking on the sun

You might as well be walking on the sun

You might as well be walking on the sun

You might as well be walking on the sun
