Sunday Song Lyric:

   A reader suggests "Fallen on Hard Times" by [1]Jethro Tull as a Sunday
   Song Lyric. It seems rather fitting given today's economic and
   political climate. The song was originally released on Tull's 1982
   album, [2]The Broadsword and the Beast. Here are two verses:

     Fallen on hard times â but it feels good to know
     that milk and honey's just around the bend.
     Running on bad lines â we'd better run as we go,
     Tear up, tear up the overdraft again. . . .
     Fallen on hard times â and there's nowhere to hide
     Now they've re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink.
     Turning on the peace sign â and it's back to the wood.
     Soon there will be raised a holy stink.

   The full lyrics are available [3]here, and there's also a [4]live
   performance on YouTube.
