Soulshine Lyrics
The world around
gotcha down
you got high blood pressure people pushin' you around
and some wanna tell you how you should behave
cut your hair the right way, tell you what to say, hang
out with the right folks
become a fashion slave
But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
(chorus)
Take ya time
unwind ya mind
we all need a little soulshine
take ya time
unwind ya mind
we could use a little soulshine
9 to 5, people tryin'a stay alive
hard livin' in the city
find a diamond in the sewer but the gas bills rise
but I got to say to them what's in all mean
ya got a take a loan
to pay the bill on the phone
educated, graduated but you can't get a job
But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
(chorus)
gotcha down
you got high blood pressure people pushin' you around
and some wanna tell you how you should behave
cut your hair the right way, tell you what to say, hang
out with the right folks
become a fashion slave
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
Take ya time
unwind ya mind
we all need a little soulshine
take ya time
unwind ya mind
we could use a little soulshine
hard livin' in the city
find a diamond in the sewer but the gas bills rise
but I got to say to them what's in all mean
ya got a take a loan
to pay the bill on the phone
educated, graduated but you can't get a job
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
(chorus)

i love this song. it's quite possible about weed, and how when life's got you down, you just need a little lift and you're free. it's a beautiful thing.
yeah i think its about weed too or just being happy even in this mundane life. love it
I think it's about not conforming to living the way society expects you to. Dress the way you want, relax, do what makes you happy... be free. Don't worry about school, jobs or anything stressing you out. Enjoy life!
