Afternoon In The Sunshine

Naivety isn't blissAnd that's why I'm waving a placardBanning a bomb, righting a wrongOr trying and being ignored'cause if you want the pie in the skyWell baby you'd better believe it'cause the moon on a stick to the filthy and rich is another political puppetAnd the left leaning liberals got lonelyDefending the rights of us allEveryone else just looks selfishThinking of only a fewBut we have all got our opinionsAnd we will all share them in timeSometimes our opinions are different thoughAnd that's where the problems lie[Chorus]But we all want to live, we all want to laughWe all want to love and we all want to danceSo let's put our problems asideSpend an afternoon in the sunshine[Verse 2]I'm wearing my rose tinted glassesOver my bleeding heartEnjoying every moment of this wonderful life that I've gotFooling myself that by singing my songsI'm kind of doing my bitBut I'm as embarrassed as everyone else at the the size of my footprint[Chorus 2]But I want to eat meat and I want to flyI don't want to feel guilty just for being aliveAnd I'll work hard to keep my afternoon in the sunshine[Bridge]It's like an angry open letter and an online think pieceAn out of tune folk song at an underattended protestWe're all looking left and right as the world goes down the drainLet's think about the things that we agree on for a change[Chorus]'cause we're all skin and bones, we're all flesh and bloodWe all get lonely and we all need loveDeep down we are all the sameJust a human in a raceAnd we all want to live, we all want to laugh
