Hard Times For An Honest Man — текст песни (Mellencamp John Cougar)

One man
Does his work
He`s not satisfied
Not at all
Feels like
That he is being used
His self respect starts to fall
His frustration
Runnin` very very high
He takes it out
On the ones he loves
Because it`s safe
And who they gonna tell
And he hates the cold-bloodedness
That runs inside
CHORUS
Oh yes
It`s hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times
Sister
She`s got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But she`s young
And she`s unaware
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And there ain`t no man can touch this girl`s heart
CHORUS
So we walk
>From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and say goodbye
But some days are hard like a soldier`s steel-tipped boots
And the rent we pay to stay here gets high
CHORUS
