Sunny Side Up
You can wake up in the morning with a bright smile on your face
Or slam that front door shut and complain about your race
You can walk straight out the house and you are either happy or
Sunny side is facing up or pancake spilled on floor
I leave my house each morning and I always say hello
To the seagulls high up in the sky and the ants and the worms
The mole and the fox and the rabbit down below
Sunny side up burn the express and the mail
The key to real democracy's throw the Eton mob in jail
In the 70s and the 80s, we were living side by side
Now the neighborhood is either scared or full on radicalized
Sunny side up burn the telegraph and The Sun
Ooh-ooh, telegraph and the sun
Folk like that won't take a chance and gaze at family tree
In case it tells a tale of someone, they'd not rather be
The thing that threatens everything ain't the colour of your skin
It's the fact that we're a melting pot and the truth is you can't swim
Sunny side up, you see, is what will see us through
We'll wave a wave to postman, the Milkman nods
The binman waves, and the paperboy waves too
Sunny side up burn the express and the mail
The only real democracy sees the Eton mob in jail
In the 60s, 70s, 80s, we were living side by side (ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
Now the neighborhood is either scared or full on radicalized (ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
Sunny side up burn the telegraph and the sun
Ooh-ooh, telegraph and the sun
Yeah, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up (oh-oh-oh-ohhh)
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) oh, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) yeah, it's a sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
Or slam that front door shut and complain about your race
You can walk straight out the house and you are either happy or
Sunny side is facing up or pancake spilled on floor
I leave my house each morning and I always say hello
To the seagulls high up in the sky and the ants and the worms
The mole and the fox and the rabbit down below
Sunny side up burn the express and the mail
The key to real democracy's throw the Eton mob in jail
In the 70s and the 80s, we were living side by side
Now the neighborhood is either scared or full on radicalized
Sunny side up burn the telegraph and The Sun
Ooh-ooh, telegraph and the sun
Folk like that won't take a chance and gaze at family tree
In case it tells a tale of someone, they'd not rather be
The thing that threatens everything ain't the colour of your skin
It's the fact that we're a melting pot and the truth is you can't swim
Sunny side up, you see, is what will see us through
We'll wave a wave to postman, the Milkman nods
The binman waves, and the paperboy waves too
Sunny side up burn the express and the mail
The only real democracy sees the Eton mob in jail
In the 60s, 70s, 80s, we were living side by side (ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
Now the neighborhood is either scared or full on radicalized (ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
Sunny side up burn the telegraph and the sun
Ooh-ooh, telegraph and the sun
Yeah, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up (oh-oh-oh-ohhh)
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) oh, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
(Oh-oh-oh-ohhh) yeah, it's a sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
