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

Harding 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 milk

Turning on the peace sign - and it's back to the wood

Soon there will be raised an 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
