Lyrics
I saw a man on the side of the road with a sign that read will work for food
Try to look busy until the light turns green
Now I saw a bear on T.V
And his friends were all drowning
Because their homes were turning to water
Strange kinda sad big old bear and
I'm sure he would happily eat me
He'd tear me to pieces out there
Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising
Summer's here to stay and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean
Tell me everything will be okay
If I just stay on my knees and keep praying
'Lieving in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of
By those qualified to take care of it all
Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising
Summer's here to stay and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean
One day you think we'll wake up in a world on its way to getting better
And if so, can you tell me how
I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
The tourniquet's not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
Though we would like to believe we are
We are not in control
Though we would love to believe
Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water's rising
Summer's here to stay and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean
