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 theyve 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 dont have to take this lying down.
You can keep your promises, shove 'em where they belong.
Dont ask me to the party--won't be around.
