Fallen On Hard Times



Fallen on hard times --- but it feels good to know
that milk and honey"s just around the bend.
Running on bad lines --- we"d better run as we go,
Tear up, tear up the overdraft again.

Oh, dear Prime Minister --- it"s all such a mess.
Go right ahead and pull the rotten tooth.
Oh, Mr. President --- you"ve been put to the test.
Come clean, for once, and hit us with the truth.

Looking for sunshine --- oh but it"s black and it"s cold
Yet, you say that milk and honey"s just round the bend.
Giving us a hard time, my friends
handing us the same line again.

Fallen on hard times --- and there"s nowhere to hide
Now they"ve re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink.

Turning on the peace sign --- and it"s back to the wood.
Soon there will be raised a holy stink.

Somebody wake me. I"ve been sleeping too long.
Oh, I don"t have to take this lying down.
You can keep your promises. Shove `em where they belong.
Don"t ask me to the party --- won"t be around.
