Smash Mouth - Walkin' on the Sun Lyrics Meaning

"So don't delay act now supplies are running out"

Fads come and go.

"Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive"

There's always something new around the corner.

"And if you follow there may be a tomorrow"

If you conform and join in on the fads early, you will be alright.

"But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun"

If you are late to join the fad, you may find yourself spending unnecessary money for things you honestly don't care about.

Here's a basic example of what this song is saying: The iPad is so popular it has become a fad and everyone is buying it. But for those who are late to join in on the fad will get screwed, as the iPad2 is just around the corner.
