Fallen on Hard Times (2005 Remaster)

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
