The Stranglers - Always The Sun

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
