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.
