Always The Sun

The Stranglers

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?

How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?

Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play?

I was always told at school, everybody should get the same

How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?

How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't

bet?

Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun?

Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat



There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun



How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?

Y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do

things by half

Who gets the job, of pushing the knob

That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough



There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun
