It ain't no joke [Em7]I'd like to[A7] buy the [D#m]world a toke
[A7]And teach the world [Em7]to sing in[A7] perfect [D#m]harmony
[A7]And teach the world [Em7]to snuff the[A7] fires [D#m]and the liars
[A7]Hey I know it's [Em7]just a song but [A7]it's spice for the [D#m]recipe
[A7]This is a love [Em7]attack [A7]I know it went out but [D#m]it's back
[A7]It's just like [Em7]any fad it [A7]retracts [D#m]before impact
[A7]And just like fashion [Em7]it's a passion [A7]for the with it and [D#m]the hip
[A7]If you got the goods they'll [Em7]come and buy it [A7]just to stay in [D#m]the clique
[A7]
Chorus
[Em7] So don't delay[A7] act now[D#m] supplies are [A7]running out
[Em7]Allow if you're[A7] still alive[D#m] six to eight [A7]years to arrive
[Em7]And if you swollow[A7] there may [D#m]be a [A7]tomorrow
But if[Em7] the offer is shunned[A7] you might[B7] as well be walkin' on the sun

Verse
Twenty-five years [Em7]ago they[A7] spoke out [D#m]and they broke [A7]out
Of recession [Em7]and oppression [A7]and together [D#m]they toked
[A7]And they folked [Em7]out with [A7]guitars [D#m]around a [A7]bonfire
Just singin' [Em7]and clappin' man[A7] what the [D#m]hell happened
[A7]Then some were [Em7]spellbound some [A7]were hellbound
[D#m]Some they fell [A7]down and some got [Em7]back up and[A7]
Fought back [D#m]'gainst the melt[A7] down
And their kids were [Em7]hippie chicks [A7]all [D#m]hypocrites
[A7]Because fashion [Em7]is smashin' the [A7]true meaning [D#m]of it[A7]
Chorus
[Em7] So don't delay[A7] act now[D#m] supplies are [A7]running out
[Em7]Allow if you're[A7] still alive[D#m] six to eight [A7]years to arrive
[Em7]And if you swollow[A7] there may [D#m]be a [A7]tomorrow
But if[Em7] the offer is shunned[A7] you might[B7] as well be walkin' on the sun

Verse
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With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked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 godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit [Em7]back kick [A7]back and watch the [D#m]world get [A7]bushwhacked
News at 10:00 your [Em7]neighborhood [A7]is under [D#m]attack
[A7]Put away the crack [Em7]before the crack[A7] puts you [D#m]away
You [A7]need to be there [Em7]when your baby's [A7]old enough [B7]to relate
Chorus
[Em7] So don't delay[A7] act now[D#m] supplies are [A7]running out
[Em7]Allow if you're[A7] still alive[D#m] six to eight [A7]years to arrive
[Em7]And if you swollow[A7] there may [D#m]be a [A7]tomorrow
But if[Em7] the offer is shunned[A7] you might[B7] as well be walkin' on the sun
Outro
[Em7] [A7] You might as[D#m] well be walkin'[A7] on the [Em7]sun[A7]
You might as[D#m] well be walkin'[A7] on the [Em7]sun[A7]
You might as[D#m] well be walkin'[A7] on the [Em7]sun[A7]
You might as[D#m] well be walkin'[A7] on the [Bm]sun
