Alec Ogg - Sunshine City

Music & Lyrics by Alec Ogg
It's rare to see a sunrise when you drink and love all night
They say we're missing something in that first hour of light
A peace, a calm, when the day's begun
Thats what they say about our days
It's rare to be so happy when your wallet's so damn thin
They say we're spending too much on the night life we live
So save away, all that you make
That's what will pay for future days
But in the Sunshine City
We're so much richer than you all, us hippies
Because we're still so young and pretty
And we're living in the city of the sun
It's rare to have so many friends, beware don't get too close
Quality over quantity they say we can't have both
Two or three, is all you need
That's what they say about our ways
It's rare to have adventures, it's rare to have such fun
You'll be haunted by those pictures when you're trying to get a job
Predictable and safe is the path they said to take
But there's no way
Cause in the Sunshine City
We've got the love to go around, us hippies
Because we're still so young and pretty
And we're living in the city of the sun
Our love is yellow, we are hopeful
We are happy here and warm
We've got our tans and highlight hairs
From all the time we spend outdoors
And when a storm comes crashing
And it knocks us down to size
We will remember the sun will rise
It's rare to see a sunrise when you drink and love all night
They say we're missing something in that first hour of light
A peace, a calm, when the day's begun
Thats what they say about our days
But in the Sunshine City
We feel that all day long, us hippies
Because we're still so young and pretty
And we're living in the city of the sun
