The Blow Monkeys it doesn't have to be this way

It doesn't have to be this way

Just count the hours

Cos when your bed is made, then baby it's too late

There's no hope for the hungry child

Whose joker is wild

They take all hope away and by the end of the day

Well I just about have enough of the sunshine, Hey!

What did I hear you say?

You know, it doesn't have to be that way

You! When you walk out the door

You're gonna ask for more

It doesn't have to hurt that way

Just count the pain

You've only got yourselves to blame for playing the game

There's no hope for a hungry child (no wonder! )

Whose joker is wild

And they take all hope away (no wonder! )

And I just can't see the sense and my mind's a haze ( no wonder!)

Well I just about have enough of the sunshine, Hey!

What did I hear you say?

You know, it doesn't have to be that way

You! When you walk out the door baby
