They Can't Buy The Sunshine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All and all it's been a blast
Fame and fortune never lasts
We'll take refuge in the sound
They burned our churches to the ground
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
We may have sold our very souls
The ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told twice
This life's never very nice
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky and multiplies
They bind up souls to fill their holes
We know the one thing they don't know
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
