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.
