They Can't Buy The Sunshine Lyrics
All in all, it's been blast
But fame and fortune never last
So we'll take refuge in the sand
They burned our churches to the ground
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
We may have sold our very souls
But the ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky, it multiplies
They're buying up souls to fill their holes
But we know the one thing they don't know
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
But fame and fortune never last
So we'll take refuge in the sand
They burned our churches to the ground
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
But the ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
Crushing the sky, it multiplies
They're buying up souls to fill their holes
But we know the one thing they don't know
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun

money cant buy happiness
It's about "selling your soul" to the music industry and not sticking to your beliefs. TB were kinda forced into recording a new single ("5 Mile") and re-releasing the 2nd album and all... This song is about not doing this anymore, and knowing they will win after all (cos they can't buy the sunshine, the can't buy happiness).
You´re right. It´s about selling out. Let me just add that it´s such a perfect pop song !!!
