Honest Man Songtext
von Current Swell

Doing time for a crime that he didn′t commit
the look of a man that the man don't fit
now he′s in the penitentiary
when an honest man now should be living free
he said to break it would take three years or less
they cut his time in half if he did confess
but it's hard now understand
when you're living a life of an honest man and he said
It will only take me
three little years or less
they cut my sentence right in half, man
if I was to confess and I says
I ain′t going to do it
just now to save my pride
confessing would be nothing but a dirty dirty lie
la da da da...
Less then 3 turned to 33 33 turned to 34
when he finally broke out the prison walls
he was up for his own parole
and he saw the new world of calamity
and didn′t like what it had become
he said it changed oh such a terrible way from the era where he came from
and he said
It will only take me
three little years or less
and they cut my sentence right in half, man
if I was to confess and I says
I ain't going to do it
just now to save my pride
confessing would be nothing but a dirty dirty lie
ya ya ya
la da da da...
