Fallen On Hard Times - Jethro Tull

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
