Honest Man Blues

The first time that we met I had the sneaking suspicion
That you wanted to get rid of me
You were talking, talking, without even knowing more
Than maybe crumbs about the road I'm on
Simple crumbs about the train I'm in
And then I...
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Owooo...

If the universal beauty of art has been degraded,
Corrupted and polluted since the money became
In sole and vital reason instead of consequence
I don't allow you to talk to me in those terms
You got no right to talk to me that way
And then we...
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Owooo...

Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Owooo...

Hey! It's not my fault!
If you chose the comfort in that tide
But, hey! I don't trust!
I don't trust your fuckin' rings of fire!

At least you had the decency to put on the table
Your poison cards, your eager gaze, your mean baits
I appreciate your offer but I cannot forget
That in the mirror there's a price to pay
I feel much better being an honest man
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Owooo...

Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Mmm ah, ah
Owooo...
Owooo...
Owooo...
