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
Repeat Chorus
Instr.: | Em7 A7 | D#m A7 | Em7 A7 | D#m A7 |
| Em7 A7 | D#m A7 | Em7 A7 | B7 |
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With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked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
Repeat Chorus
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
