Fallen On Hard Times

I'm fallin' on hard times

But it feels good to know

That milk and honey's just around the bend

Runnin' on bad lines

We'd better run as we go

And 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

Lookin' for sunshine

Oh, but it's black and it's cold

Yet, you say that milk and honey's just 'round the bend

Givin' us a hard time my friends

Handin' us the same line again

Fallen on hard times

And there's nowhere to hide

Now they've repossessed the Rolls Royce and the mink

Turnin' on the peace sign

Oh, and it's back to the wood

Soon there will be raised a holy stink

Somebody wake me, I've been sleepin' too long

Oh, I don't have to take this lyin' down

You can keep your promises, shove 'em where they belong

Don't ask me 'til the party, won't be around

Lookin' for sunshine

Oh, but it's black and it's cold

Yet, you say there's milk and honey just 'round the bend

Givin' us a hard time my friends

Handin' us the same line again

Fallen on hard times

We've fallen on hard times

Oh, fallen on hard times

Had to read between the lines

Oh, we've fallen on hard times

(Fallen on hard times)
