Honest Man

it's so hard gettin' by these days as an honest man
 i'm just trying to do my part, just want to lend a hand
 when i need it, i can't get no help
 everybody's just serving themselves
 nobody's got time for an honest man
 all the movers and the shakers and the powers that be
 they turn their backs on each other, they turn their backs on me
 now i just want to know where i stand
 am i a mountain or a grain of sand
 has anybody got time for an honest man
 what do i have to do to get your attention
 i have so much say, why don't you just listen
 it's just so hard out here for an honest man
 i keep tryin' to do all i can
 i keep my head up along the way
 thinkin' maybe, just maybe someday
 somebody's gonna have time for an honest man
