[Intro]
They keep saying it.
Like it’s an insult.
“Mr. Sunshine.”
…
Who the fuck cares.
[Verse 1] People say I’m negative, people say I bring the room down People say a coma patient smiles more than I do People say relax, people say breathe, people say chill the fuck out People say fix your face, like my face owes them something new People got a lot to say about a guy Who never asked them once for their fucking opinions But go ahead, keep talking, keep the list going I’ve heard every god damn version
[Pre-Chorus] I bring the rainbows and the unicorns I bring the clowns and the fucking balloons I always hum a happy tune What the fuck are you talking about?
[Chorus] I am - Sunshine Fucking sunshine Go on, call me Mr. Sunshine I bring the happy, I bring the joy I keep the fucking tears away I bring the fun, I am the fun Maybe not every single day But even if it’s once in a while Even if it happened only once this lifetime I’m still fucking sunshine
[Verse 2] Funny how the same people asking for my light Never once asked if I had any left that day Funny how “you’re too much” and “you’re not enough” Come out of the exact same fucking mouths, same day I don’t owe anyone a permanent smile I don’t owe anyone constant light But when I’ve got it, I give it all So don’t tell me I’m doing sunshine wrong
[Pre-Chorus] I bring the rainbows and the unicorns I bring the clowns and the fucking balloons I always hum a happy tune What the fuck are you talking about?
[Chorus] I am - Sunshine Fucking sunshine Go on, call me Mr. Sunshine I bring the happy, I bring the joy I keep the fucking tears away I bring the fun, I am the fun Maybe not every single day But even if it’s once in a while Even if it happened only once this lifetime I’m still fucking sunshine
[Bridge — sincere, no jokes] Nobody sees the days I have to build it from nothing Nobody claps for the mornings I choose it anyway They just want the light, not the cost of making it They want the sun without asking what it burns to stay lit So yeah, maybe I’m not fucking sunshine every hour Maybe some days it’s just clouds and thunder And sometimes the fucking rain But I show up anyway That’s the whole fucking point
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus — key lift] I am - Sunshine Fucking sunshine Go on, call me Mr. Sunshine I bring the happy, I bring the joy I keep the fucking tears away I bring the fun, I am the fun Maybe not every single day But even if it’s once in a while Even if it happened only once this lifetime I’m still fucking sunshine
[Outro] … Call me negative. Call me whatever. … I’m still the one who showed up fucking smiling. Mr. Sunshine. Yeah. That’s me.
I am the fucking sunshine
