Broadsword and the Beast

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.
