|
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 |
