It

ain't

no

joke

I'd

like

to

buy

the

world

a

toke

And

teach

the

world

to

sing

in

per-

fect

har-

mo-

ny

And

teach

the

world

to

snuff

the

fi-

res

and

the

li-

ars

Hey

I

know

it's

just

a

song

but

it's

spice

for

the

re-

c-

ipe

This

is

a

love

at-

tack

I

know

it went

out

but

it's

back.

It's

just

like

a-

ny

fad

it

re-

tracts

be-

fore

im-

pact

And

just

like

fa-

shion

it's

a

pas-

sion

for

the

with

it

and

hip

If

you

got

the

goods

they'll

come

and

buy

it

just

to

stay

in

the

clique

So

don't

de-

lay

act

now

sup-

plies

are

run-

ning

out

Al-

low

if

you're

still

a-

live

six

to

eight

years

to

ar-

rive

And

if

you

fol-

low

there

may

be

a

to-

mor-

row

But

if

the

of-

fer's

shunned

you

might

as

well

be

wal-

kin'

on

the

sun

Twen-

ty-

five

years

a-

go

they

spoke

out

and

they

broke

out

Of

re-

ces-

sion

and

op-

pres-

sion

and

to-

ge-

ther

they

toked

And

they

folked

out

with

gui-

tars

a-

round

a

bon-

fire

Just

sin-

gin'

and

clap-

pin'

man

what

the

hell

hap-

pened

Then

some

were

spell-

bound

some

were

hell-

bound

Some

they

fell

down

and

some

got

back

up

and

Fought

back

'gainst

the

melt

down

And

their

kids

were

hip-

pie

chicks

all

hy-

po-

crites

Be-

cause

fa-

shion

is

sma-

shin'

the

true

mea-

ning

of

it

So

don't

de-

lay

act

now

sup-

plies

are

run-

ning

out

Al-

low

if

you're

still

a-

live

six

to

eight

years

to

ar-

rive

And

if

you

fol-

low

there

may

be

a

to-

mor-

row

But

if

the

of-

fer's

shunned

you

might

as

well

be

wal-

kin'

on

the

sun

It

ain't

no

joke

when

a

ma-

ma's

hand-

ker-

chief

is

soaked

With

her

tears

be-

cause

her

ba-

by's

life

has

been

re-

voked

The

bond

is

broke

up

so

choke

up

and

fo-

cus

on

the

close

up

Mis-

ter

Wi-

zard

can't

per-

form

no

god

like

ho-

cus-

po-

cus

So

don't

sit

back

kick

back

and

watch

the

world

get

bush-

whacked

News

at

ten

your

neigh-

bor-

hood

is

un-

der

at-

tack

Put

a-

way

the

crack

be-

fore

the

crack

puts

you

a-

way

You

need

to

be

there

when

your

ba-

by's

old

e-

nough

to

re-

late

So

don't

de-

lay

act

now

sup-

plies

are

run-

out

Al-

if

you're

still

a-

live

six

And

if

you

there

may

be

But

if

you

You

You

You
