Soak Up The Sun Lyrics

My friend the communist

    Sheryl is reminding people that they will never have enough if they continue to want more. It is a song about materialism and a good question to ask is "how good is good enough?"

    This song is a stupid song about all the superficial people in Los Angeles. This song really only applies to LA because the rest of the United States is nothing like LA. LA is full of a bunch of pretentious, materialistic snobs. What makes this song even more stupid is how it tries to justify itself by talking about some borderline homeless girl who works at Starbuck's.
