Today’s installment of the Song A Week Project is “Honest Man”. This one comes with a music video — featuring footage from a four-part short comedy film series I made with the guys from Tidwell’s Treasure in Western MA. Speaking of Western MA, this song’s production was a collab with Western MA’s Chris Ball, who laid down the bass and drums from his studio in Greenfield, MA. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Well there ain’t nothing new under the sun
The same ole evils ole Solomon sung
I’ve searched the depths and I’ve searched the land
For an honest man, an honest man, an honest man
It’s the same old story getting one
One man reaps while another man sows
The taxman and the robber snatch from the hand
Of the honest man, the honest man, the honest man
Some say you can, some say you can’t
Throw a stone without hitting an honest man
An honest, an honest man
Once in a blue moon you’ll meet, and shake the hand,
of an honest man, an honest man, an honest man
Well they say that it’s the money and its the gun
But does a trigger pull itself? And who’s printing all the funds?
They want it all for themselves but they want it banned
For the honest man, the honest man, the honest man
Some say you can, some say you can’t
Throw a stone without hitting an honest man
An honest, an honest man
Once in a blue moon you’ll meet, and shake the hand,
of an honest man, an honest man, an honest man
Well there ain’t nothing new under the sun
The same ole evils ole Solomon sung
I’ve searched the depths and I’ve searched the land
For an honest man, an honest man, an honest man
