Lyric 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.
