Always The Sun

By: 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 a gun?
Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat

There's always the sun (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?
I know it's not unlike the politicians 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 (always the sun)
There's always the sun
Always, always (always the sun)
