Ready, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Bornin' on hard times, but it feels good to know
That milk and honey's just around the bend
Runnin' on bad lines, we better run as we go
Tear up, tear up the overdrive 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
Lookin' for sunshine, but it's black and it's cold
Yet you say that milk and honey's just around the bend
Givin' us a hard time, my friends
Handin' us the same lines again
Fallin' on hard times, but there's nowhere to hide
Now they repossess for all those riots and the mink
Turnin' on a peace sign, and it's back to the woods
Silver will be raised, I've always thinkin'
Somebody wake me, I've been sleepin' too long
Oh, I don't have to take this lying down
You can keep your promises, show them where they belong
Don't ask me to, the party won't be around
Fallin' on hard times, but it feels good to know
That milk and honey's just around the bend
Givin' us a hard time, my friends
Handin' us the same lines again
Fallin' on hard times
We're fallin' on hard times
Fallin' on hard times
Can't you read between the lines?
We're fallin' on hard times
Yeah, fallin' on hard times
Oh, we're fallin' on hard times
Yeah, fallin' on hard times
