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?

But 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 a man with a gun?

Someone must've 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 politicians 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 (always the sun)

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

There's always the sun (always the sun)

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

Aaahhh

Aaahhh

Aaahhh

Aaahhh

There's always the sun (always the sun)

There's always the sun

Always, always, always the sun

Always the sun

Always the sun
