Ive got one eye on the mirror Ive got one eye on the road And Im on my way again Ive got one foot in tomorrow Ive hot one foot in today Now and then, I am standing in the darkness But Im talking from the light I am leaning to the left But Im feeling for the right Ive got simple explanations For complex situations And Im working for the good of the nation There are people who are with me There are people who are not As youll imagine There are people out to get me With everything theyve got Its plain to see, there are those who criticise me for everything I do They say Im taking from the many to give to just a few Well, there are certain limitations With every aspiration When youre working for the good of the nation For the good of the nation For the good of my own country Its an act of dedication And thats good enough for me You may have your own opinion How the country ought to be theres no denying that You may have your own opinion just what you make of me And thats a fact But you know it isnt easy Keeping one ear to the ground While youre running with the foxes While youre hunting with the hounds You get little compensation For the trials and tribulations Of Working for the good of the nation For the good of the nation For the good of my own country Its an act of dedication And thats good enough for me
