Sunny places

Shady people

Sunny places

Sunny places

Shady people

Sunny places

It's a hot night

And everywhere you go

You feel the heat on your shoes

Cause there's a lot of light

Comin' from out of nowhere

Such a pretty view

Chorus (1)

And they say that everyone is happy

But I say why this world

Tell me why this world

Chorus (2)

[Seems like a] sunny place for shady people

Paint your freedom in white on white

Sunny place for shady people

Grab your money run through the night

When the little boys

Grow into smaller men

They put a feather in their cap

And they're singing hymns

Of peace and liberty

Are we the fools of equality

Chorus (1)

Chorus (2)

Chorus (1)

Sunny place for shady people

Too much sorrow oh my trouble and strife

Sunny place for shady people

Take your virtue and kiss you wife

Sunny places

For shady people

Sunny places

They burn your soul

Don't burn your soul
