been working way too long   and the checks aren't getting any bigger   and we're singing happy songs   to keep from feeling down   the price is going up   where does all that extra cash flow?   a ten cent dinner in a cup   means you're cold and hungry in a half an hour      'cause we're running out of sun, and pretty soon   the days will be as dark as ever   and once that winter comes   it won't be getting any better   those longer nights, well they make me hate to wake up early   those longer night mean more time to   let our bedrooms get a little dirty      no, we don't need the sun   we've got electric lights now   and we have ways    of staying warm once all the fires have burned out      and we're running out of wood, and when it's gone we   won't have heat to warm our feet with   so get an extra pair of socks   that's just one more thing i'll have to take off   well, we could all move south   i heard they have much warmer weather   but i'd rather nor be sweating all the time   so i'll just wear an extra sweater      no, we don't need the sun   we've got electric lights now   and we have ways    of staying warm once all the fires have burned out
