Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen Lyrics

Effects of tanning beds have become a song

Have you heard the Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen Lyrics, by Baz Luhrmann? It’s a great set of lyrics and the melody is quite catchy and it ties nicely to the effects of tanning beds. It starts like this

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh never mind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

The lyrics go on for sometime, but you get the drift. If you don’t worry about the health risks to you and your skin, then whose
going to? Hind sight is a beautiful thing, especially for sun worshipper. We get our fix, we feel good about our tan, and we don’t worry about tomorrow.

Then tomorrow comes, 10 years down the road, and you’re sitting in the Doctors office being told you have skin cancer. Hind sight
tells you, you should have paid more attention in the past.

So don’t be a victim of your own lethargy. You can get that tan that means so much to you, and you can minimize the risks to your
health. Tan safely using an appropriate SPF level for your skin type, don’t overexpose yourself, and don’t let your skin burn.

A few precautions can make all the difference. In stead of bad news down the road, 10 years from now you could be hearing your Doctor say, “You’ve got great skin, healthy, and well looked after.” Use the hind sight of others, to help you!
