One, two, three, four
Well money talked but I didn't listen
And then it disappeared
All the top economists said it's much worse than they ever feared
It almost gives you vertigo
From staring at the ground
Complicated charts and graphs
Were being passed around
Saying things are going to get more expensive now
Jobs fewer and far between
Things are going to get a lot harder here
Just wait and see
Well things are going to have to get worse
If they're ever really going to get better
And everybody loves a whinge
Nobody loves a whinger
Well these are the rainy days they told us about
The ones that we were supposed to save up for
I didn't save a penny baby
Didn't bring my umbrella
I've been walking 'round the city with my clothes off
Saying, "I like the rain, it makes flowers grow
And I don't mind getting wet
We could work a little harder
And expect a little less
When the going gets tought the tough get going
And that how this story goes
But all anybody really cares about
Is some more designer clothes
If money is the root of all evil
I say let's just let them keep it
We could work the best with what we've got
And do the best that we can with it
Well these are the rainy days they told us about
The ones that we were supposed to save up for
I didn't save a penny baby
Didn't bring my umbrella
I've been walking 'round the city with my clothes off
Saying, "I like the rain, it makes flowers grow
And I don't mind getting wet
We could work a little harder
And expect a little less
Well I don't know what you've heard about 2012
I got some good news for everyone
It's not the end of the world
Just a step of evolution
To a brand new humankind
I got my fingers crossed it happens baby
I'll see you on the other side
'Cause i'm here to make a livin'
But not a killin'
And I meet people everyday
To give me something to believe in
There's love out here
I promise you
You've just got to go and look for it
We could work a little harder
And expect a little less
