lyrics

Good loving man
Doing the best I can
Doing the best I can

Something mutated when I was created
Because the two of you don’t share one selfish cell
Loving and lusting, unthorough job rushing
You never knew your boy was raised so well

Saturday AM you wake up, volunteer all over town
Saturday PM I rise up from my coffin in the ground
If actions speak louder, then I hardly make a sound
Stay above just enough so as not to drown

The most I could ever hope to do is
follow the model set by you
I don’t want to waste your time
The most I could ever hope to do is
follow the model set by you
Make me wanna be, make me wanna be
Make me wanna be an —

Honest man
Doing the best I can
Honest man
Doing the best I can
I don’t care much for karma
Don’t believe in the promised land
What’s it gonna take to make me an honest man?

Wondering how the hell I ever got a hold of you
We stayed high, maybe that’s why you stayed so long
Overtaken by complacency as boredom took on you
I stayed oblivious until you were already gone

Moving is hard, but stagnation is harder
I can no longer be a burden, can’t create no more martyrs
I need a light, ’cause I’m no self-starter
Hope I figure it out before I’m someone’s father

The most I could ever hope to be is
that to you which you were to me
To your life what you were to mine
The most I could ever hope to be is
that to you which you were to me
Make me wanna be, make me wanna be
Make me want to be an —

Honest man
Doing the best I can
Honest man
Doing the best I can
I don’t care much for karma
Don’t believe in the promised land
What’s it gonna take to make me an honest man?

Honest man | Hardworking man | Good loving man | Good loving man

Doing the best I can, the best I can

Don’t care much for karma, don’t believe in the promised land
What’s it gonna take to make me an honest man?
