Always the Sun (Original 7" Edit) - 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 who 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?

You know it's not unlike the politician

And the leaders when they do things by half

But 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

There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

Always the sun

Always the sun

There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

There's always the sun

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun
