[Verse 1]
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Lookin' at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Keepin' outta trouble like a soldiers say
I don't wanna spend my time in hell
Lookin' at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever wanna play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives it's heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
[Verse 2]
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Lookin' like somethin' that the cat brought in
[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives it's heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
[Verse 3]
And they're only gonna change this place
By killin' everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet
[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives it's heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
