Fun In the Sun

Sun said he'd have his fun today
Took out his gun and blew us all away
Fire balls struck the earth
Mother said 'twas worse than giving birth

Having fun in the sun
Having fun with everyone

Heat waves and solar flares
I wave my arms like I just don't care
The skin has melted off your face
You are no longer a disgrace

Having fun in the sun
Having fun with everyone

White or black, redyellow or blue
I have something to say to you
There is something you should learn:
We're all black when we burn

Having fun in the sun
Having fun with everyone

Poor or rich 
which is which?
That doesn't matter any more

At last you see
equals we shall be
Lying there on the floor
