Lyrics
tell your mother
tell your father
there's a warm wind
kickin' off the water
they heard it's harder
the way you live down here
a man and a woman and child
might as well drown down here
so you bought you a mansion with money you don't have to spare
a pretty lady walks you in,
singing we don't care
and there's a man in a crown
staring you down
saying sunshine's free, boy
sunshine's free
tell everybody who makes the movies
you can't build a basement here
tell the guy
with the air-conditioned storage unit full of wine
i heard they'll start making movies here
so you bought you a mansion with money you don't have to spare
a pretty lady walks you in,
singing we don't care
and there's a man in a crown
staring you down
saying sunshine's free, boy
sunshine's free
