Afternoons in the Sunshine |
| Naivety isn’t bliss |
| And that’s why I’m waving a placard |
| Banning a bomb, righting a wrong |
| Or trying and being ignored |
| 'cause if you want the pie in the sky |
| Well baby you’d better believe it |
| 'cause the moon on a stick to the filthy and rich is another political puppet |
| And the left leaning liberals got lonely |
| Defending the rights of us all |
| Everyone else just looks selfish |
| Thinking of only a few |
| But we have all got our opinions |
| And we will all share them in time |
| Sometimes our opinions are different though |
| And that’s where the problems lie |
| But we all want to live, we all want to laugh |
| We all want to love and we all want to dance |
| So let’s put our problems aside |
| Spend an afternoon in the sunshine |
| I’m wearing my rose tinted glasses |
| Over my bleeding heart |
| Enjoying every moment of this wonderful life that I’ve got |
| Fooling myself that by singing my songs |
| I’m kind of doing my bit |
| But I’m as embarrassed as everyone else at the the size of my footprint |
| But I want to eat meat and I want to fly |
| I don’t want to feel guilty just for being alive |
| And I’ll work hard to keep my afternoon in the sunshine |
| It’s like an angry open letter and an online think piece |
| An out of tune folk song at an underattended protest |
| We’re all looking left and right as the world goes down the drain |
| Let’s think about the things that we agree on for a change |
| 'cause we’re all skin and bones, we’re all flesh and blood |
| We all get lonely and we all need love |
| Deep down we are all the same |
| Just a human in a race |
| And we all want to live, we all want to laugh |
| We all want to love and we all want to dance |
| So let’s put our problems aside |
| Spend an afternoon in the sunshine |
