It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars Hey, I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe This is a love attack, I know, went out but it's back It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact And just like fashion, it's a passion for the with it and hip If you got the goods, they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun Twenty-five years ago, they spoke out and they broke out Of recession and oppression and together they toked And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire Just singin' and clappin', man, what the hell happened there? Some were spellbound, some were hell bound Some they fell down and some got back up And fought back against the melt-down And their kids were hippie chicks or hypocrites Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun And it ain't no joke when our mama's handkerchief is soaked With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up Mr. Wizard can't reform, no God-like hocus-pocus So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack Put away the crack before the crack put you away You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun
All this time I thought they were singing "You need to be there when your baby's old enough to be laid." Yes, that is a dark message which fits the rest of the song, considering the previous line is about putting crack away. 😐
@@ThisHorrorFilmDoesNotExist I dont mean direct instrumentals, there is somekind of inspiration from it. You can clearly hear the guitar from When the Music is Over by The Doors being played almost the same in this song, again, not direct. But you can hear somewhat of a similarity in it. Even look at the guitar chords for both of the songs, there is distinct similarities between both.

Hey, I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack, I know, went out but it's back
It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact
And just like fashion, it's a passion for the with it and hip
If you got the goods, they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow

News at ten, your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack put you away
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate

The organ in this song gets me every time!!! grooves so hard!
Still one of the smoothest jams ever made.
Why did I barely think to look this up it’s so fuckin sick
This is an incredibly high quality recording wow, 2:11 and the beginning are so clear, the sense of space the reverb adds is incredible.
Who’s here listening to this after Steve Harwell's passing?
This will forever remind me of the movie “Can’t Hardly Wait”
holy shit this is good background music
Could be a song from The Doors, lol
I mean. . .in an alternate universe where the Doors sucked.
pretty sure they got the instrumentals for this song from the doors
@@jimmygibble: You'd be pretty wrong.

There is a interview where I guess smash mouth pays homage to The Doors. So I mean wouldn't be surprised
Shows how much the lyrics actually make this song too though... Pretty amazing when the people of the world come together
Thank you for uploading this. It's very high quality!
every time i see the yakuza font in the wild i lose a little more of my already fragile hold on sanity
I loved this instrumentsl song
That beginning got me doin salsa 🔥
what the hell am I doing listening to this in winter...........
oh, right.
Sounds like stereotypical English pop music from the 60's. Pretty groovy.
Thank u for upload, i like it...
This song (both instrumental version & original version) makes me think of VeggieTales with this song playing in the background
WOW! Where did you get this?
Its an AMAZING track!
Did you have more instrumentals of Smash Mouth? like Fallen Horses or Waste
Here's the source: yadi.sk/d/w6Ra_-8VdJ7HsQ
Reminds me of the wooded world on super mario odyssey
This is my shit right here!
*CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER*

@@blorptumis_prime ok love u bye

I wouldnt be surprised if the organ solo played Ray
420th like
This song isn’t sad at all but I cry sometimes hearing it because I love it that much.
I mean it's about the la riots
3 months later and that’s the only response?
Would it be ok if I used this audio as background music for my videos if I link to this video onscreen at the end of the video?
its okay lol
ORGAN SOLO! 1:57
This part is so damn fun on Rockband 3 on the Pro keys
:)
Holy Krabby Patties! No dislikes!
Magic of sunny California, no doubt :)
5 assholes are now just trolling
Hot take, but this song is better without lyrics.
Dark song, eh?
Rejects
Robbery?
Is it me or does the guitar sound like james bond? Starting around 0:16
Sounds like something from WWE
What a nasty sound that organ solo has... mmmm .... mmmmm ...
Good song without the singing!
