[Verse]
Em7 A7 D#m
It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
Hey I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
It's just like any fad it retracts before impact
A7 Em7 A7 D#m
And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and the hip
A7 Em7 A7 D#m A7
If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique

[Chorus]
Em7 A7 D#m A7
So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Em7 A7 D#m A7
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
Em7 A7 D#m A7
And if you swollow there may be a tomorrow
Em7 A7 B7
But if the offer is shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun

[Verse]
Em7 A7 D#m A7
Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Em7 A7 D#m
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
A7 Em7 A7 D#m A7
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Em7 A7 D#m
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
A7 Em7 A7
Then some were spellbound some were hellbound
D#m A7 Em7 A7
Some they fell down and some got back up and
D#m A7
Fought back 'gainst the melt down
Em7 A7 D#m
And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites
A7 Em7 A7 D#m A7
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it

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With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked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

[Chorus]
Em7 A7 D#m A7
So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Em7 A7 D#m A7
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
Em7 A7 D#m A7
And if you swollow there may be a tomorrow
Em7 A7 B7
But if the offer is shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun

[Outro]
Em7 A7 D#m A7 Em7 A7
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
D#m A7 Em7 A7
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
D#m A7 Em7 A7
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
D#m A7 Bm
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
