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      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   We're fallen on hard times   Oh, fallen on hard times   I do read between the lines   Oh, when you're fallen on hard times
