| Hey young man lend me your ears
|
| I’ve got a few pearls to give away
|
| If you wanna change the world, you’re goin bout it wrong
|
| It all starts with meaning what you say
|
| Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple
|
| Say it loud and say it whenever you can
|
| Oh you’re bound to be a lousy politician
|
| But at least you’ll be a decent man
|
| One day soon your time will come
|
| Be ready when you get the call
|
| State your name and tell it like it is
|
| You’ll never fly if you’re afraid to fall
|
| Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple
|
| Say it loud and say it whenever you can
|
| Oh you’ll never be a sought after attorney
|
| But at least you’ll be a decent man
|
| It’s a worlds full of liars a world full of thieves
|
| And money makes them all go crazy
|
| So keep your eyes wide open stay fixed upon the prize
|
| And if it all starts gettin hazy
|
| Remember what your Daddy says
|
| Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple
|
| Say it loud and say it whenever you can
|
| Oh you’ll never be a salesman of the year
|
| But at least you’ll be a decent man |
| But at least you’ll be a decent man |
