Honest Man Lyrics - The Gracious Few - The Gracious Few

With a riot in mind 

Comes an angry young man 

With a stone from the pavement 

Comes an army of unrest 

Stripped bare by her bachelors, stripped bare on the ground 

Knuckles bared and still bleeding with the blood of this town 

They take my home they take my land the flower of my life 

They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife 

I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men 

Aint no work 

Aint no work 

For an honest man 

In a daze of confusion 

Lies a troubled broken land 

As they feast upon my table 

I am left with an empty hand 

Stripped bare by her bachelors, stripped bare on the ground 

Knuckles bared and still bleeding with the blood of this town 

They take my home they take my land the flower of my life 

They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife 

I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men 

Aint no work 

Aint no work 

For an honest man 

For so long weve been told 

That our paths lead us home 

Are we safe from ourselves? 

Have we strayed or have we failed? 

They take my home they take my land the flower of my life 

They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife 

I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men 

Aint no work 

Aint no work 

For an honest man
