verse 1
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 to work and who gets to play ?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.

verse 2
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".

chorus
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

verse 3
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.
Who gets the job of pushing the knob ?
That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough.

chorus
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

(Guitar solo)

chorus
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

outro
Always the sun, always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
