Generate meaning
1
One man does his work
2
Hes not satisfied not at all
3
Feels like that hes being used
4
His self respect starts to fall
5
His frustration
6
Runnin very very high he takes it out
7
On the ones he loves, because its safe
8
And who they gonna tell
9
And he hates that cold-bloodedness
10
That runs inside
11
CHORUS:
12
Oh yes
13
Its hard times, for an honest man
14
Very very hard times
15
Hard times, for an honest man
16
Very very hard times
17
Sister,
18
shes got a lot of pride
19
You can see it when she walks into the room
20
But shes young
21
And shes unaware
22
Of what a brutal world can do to you
23
So she loves a man
24
He lies like a dog
25
Tears her little world all apart
26
So the walls go up
27
For the rest of her days
28
And there aint no man can touch this
29
Girls heart
30
CHORUS:
31
Oh yes.
32
Its hard times, for an honest man
33
Very very hard times
34
Hard times, for an honest man
35
Very very hard times
36
So we walk
37
From the front porch to the back yard
38
Just to laugh and say hello and
39
Say goodbye
40
But some days are hard, like a
41
Soldiers steel-toed boots
42
And the rent we pay to stay here
43
Gets high
44
CHORUS:
45
Oh yes.
46
Its hard times, for an honest man
47
Very very hard times
48
Hard times, for an honest man
49
Very very hard times
