Staring at the Sun

I read a lot of books that I don�t understand
I�ve been staring at the sun, staring at the sun
Hey man, you know, what�s up, too slow
Hey man, you know, don�t let your ego

Hey man, you know, don�t let your ego

I just wanna get elected"
Feels like we're staring at the sun
I told him I was born in the summer of Sam
How hard can it be just to get along?
Staring at the sun
I've been staring at the sun, staring at the sun
I figured I�ll be like Bonnie and Clyde
I was down in the gutter below
Feels like I'm staring at the sun

I�ve been staring at the sun, staring at the sun
You get high, you get low, don�t let your ego
You get high, you get low, don�t let your ego
25 beers as an alibi, had to get connected
Hey man, you know, what�s up, too slow
But it just seems like, lately
He said, "Don�t go selling your soul
Hey man, you know, don�t let your ego

So I wrote a long letter to a government man

Feels like I'm staring at the sun
Won a lot of things, but I lost your soul
But my heart got heavy and my hair grew long
Feels like we're staring at the sun

Well, I got a lot of love for the modern man
As my heart gets heavy and my hair gets long

We spend our days just smoking pot and
Staring at the sun
"Sing a song, how hard can it be just to get along?"
Wondering how we got so fucked up

Hey man, you know, don�t let your ego
I was down in the gutter below
He said, "Son, I don�t think that you understand
Yes, don�t go selling your soul

Just want a hooker with a heart of gold
As my daddy always said
When you don�t go selling your soul
I've been staring at the sun
Now baby, I love you when spring's in the air
Yeah, don�t go selling your soul"
I had to take a job just to get along
