Falling on hard times

Falling 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. Falling 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.
