Afternoons in the Sunshine - Beans On Toast

Naivety isn’t bliss

And that’s why I’m waving a placard

Banning a bomb, righting a wrong

Or trying and being ignored

'cause if you want the pie in the sky

Well baby you’d better believe it

'cause the moon on a stick to the filthy and rich is another political puppet

And the left leaning liberals got lonely

Defending the rights of us all

Everyone else just looks selfish

Thinking of only a few

But we have all got our opinions

And we will all share them in time

Sometimes our opinions are different though

And that’s where the problems lie

But we all want to live, we all want to laugh

We all want to love and we all want to dance

So let’s put our problems aside

Spend an afternoon in the sunshine

I’m wearing my rose tinted glasses

Over my bleeding heart

Enjoying every moment of this wonderful life that I’ve got

Fooling myself that by singing my songs

I’m kind of doing my bit

But I’m as embarrassed as everyone else at the the size of my footprint

But I want to eat meat and I want to fly

I don’t want to feel guilty just for being alive

And I’ll work hard to keep my afternoon in the sunshine

It’s like an angry open letter and an online think piece

An out of tune folk song at an underattended protest

We’re all looking left and right as the world goes down the drain

Let’s think about the things that we agree on for a change

'cause we’re all skin and bones, we’re all flesh and blood

We all get lonely and we all need love

Deep down we are all the same

Just a human in a race

And we all want to live, we all want to laugh

We all want to love and we all want to dance

So let’s put our problems aside

Spend an afternoon in the sunshine
