Sunshine, Roses
Back in 1955
Wasn't hard to Survive
You know that no one Lived
But no one Died
And no one thought we'd ever cry
CHORUS:
Sunshine, Roses, sweet Holy Moses
Ethan Allen come and sing me a song
Any day now, Lord any way now
Somebody come and take us away
Hey! Hey! Someone come and take us away
It was 1963
I said "Hello, you know I'm free"
And I've come to claim my Liberty
For you, and you, and you, and me
(come on, sing it now)
CHORUS
It was there upon the hill
500,000 standin' still
With our hopes and dreams that never will
Become the truth someday until
(we started singin' now)
CHORUS
The Joker's laughin' on the floor
No one knows why or knows what for
But I think it's time we close the door
Before it's 1984
(come on, sing it now)
CHORUS
(let me hear ya now)
CHORUS
(everybody now)
