The Last Honest Man

Stan Ridgway

    Continues after the ad

    A crowd came in and sat down
    And then a man began to yell
    About savin' souls to heaven
    And for the sinner there was hell
    Well later on that night
    In a motel room down the road
    He kept his meeting for a cat-o-nine beating
    >From a leather-clad man named Moe

    CHORUS
    An honest man
    We're looking for the last honest man
    An honest man
    Keep searching for the last honest man

    There's a man that moves the masses
    On a big city radio dial
    He shouts and screams at all he's seen
    Runs a talk show like a trial
    And there's a bartender keeping secrets
    About a boxer that took a dive
    And in an office way uptown a deal is going down
    That could get somebody four to five

    Continues after the ad

    CHORUS

    Now we'll keep looking high and low
    And we'll keep searching 'round
    Is everybody, everyone, dishonest in this town?
    Well they'll stab you in the back
    You get a handshake and a smile
    But if one don't get ya, the other one will
    And ya gotta walk that mile

    CHORUS
