Afternoons in the Sunshine Lyrics

Naivety isn’t bliss
and that’s why i’m waving a placard
banning a bomb, righting a wrong
or trying and being ignored
cos if you want the pie in the sky
well baby you’d better believe it
cos 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 all have 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 wanna live, we all wanna laugh
we all wanna love and we all wanna dance
so lets put our problems aside
spend an afternoon in the sunshine
im 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 kinda doing my bit
but i’m as embarrassed as everyone else at the size of my footprint
but I wanna eat meat and I wanna fly
I don’t wanna feel guilty just for being alive
and i’ll work hard to keep my
afternoon in the sunshine
its like an angry open letter
and an online think piece
an out of tune folk song
at an under attended protest
we’re all looking left and right
as the world goes down the drain
lets think about the things that we agree on for a change
cos 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
but we all wanna live, we all wanna laugh
we all wanna love and we all wanna dance
so lets put our problems aside
spend an afternoon in the sunshine
