Текст песни: For the Good of the Nation + перевод

I’ve got one eye on the mirror

I’ve got one eye on the road

And I’m on my way again

I’ve got one foot in tomorrow

I’ve hot one foot in today

Now and then, I am standing in the darkness

But I’m talking from the light

I am leaning to the left

But I’m feeling for the right

I’ve got simple explanations

For complex situations

And I’m working for the good of the nation

There are people who are with me

There are people who are not

As you’ll imagine

There are people out to get me

With everything they’ve got

It’s plain to see, there are those who criticise me for everything I do

They say I’m taking from the many to give to just a few

Well, there are certain limitations

With every aspiration

When you’re working for the good of the nation

For the good of the nation

For the good of my own country

It’s an act of dedication

And that’s good enough for me

You may have your own opinion

How the country ought to be there’s no denying that

You may have your own opinion just what you make of me

And that’s a fact But you know it isn’t easy

Keeping one ear to the ground

While you’re running with the foxes

While you’re 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

It’s an act of dedication

And that’s good enough for me
