Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so hard gettin' by these days
As an honest man
I'm just tryin' to do my part
Just want to lend a hand
[Verse 2]
When I need it, I can't get no help
Everybody's just servin' themselves
Nobody's got time for an honest man
[Verse 3]
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
[Verse 4]
All the movers and the shakers
And the powers that be
They turn their backs on each other
They turn their backs on me
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
What do I have to do
To get your attention?
I have so much to say
Why don't you just listen?
[Verse 7]
It's just so hard out here
For an honest man
I keep tryin', I keep tryin'
To do all I can
[Verse 8]
I keep my head up along the way
Thinkin' maybe, just maybe some day
Somebody's gonna have time for an honest man
Oh, somebody's gonna have time for an honest man
[Verse 9]
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
(Who's got time for an honest man?)
