Honesty Should Pay (Music Video)

Honesty should pay [Verse 1] He lies with a smile, makes a deal, Hides the truth in what is real. Breaks the rules to win the game, And still gets money, still gets fame. I wake up early, work all day, Try my best, the honest way. His wallet's fat, mine's so thin, How does a good guy ever win? [Chorus] Why do lies pay more than truth? Why does cheating look so smooth? I work hard, I play it fair, Does anybody even care?[Chorus] I just want to see the day, When good work gets good pay. Someday soon, I hope and pray, Honesty will finally pay. [Verse 2] Small print lies and empty vows, Take the most, they don't ask how. Good man pays his bills on time, Bad man makes it, on a climb. I believe in fair and true, Say it, mean it, follow through. Tired of watching bad guys fly, While good guys watch them pass us by. [Chorus] Why do lies pay more than truth? Why does cheating look so smooth? I work hard, I play it fair, Does anybody even care? I just want to see the day, When good work gets good pay. Someday soon, I hope and pray, Honesty will finally pay. [Bridge] Good deal, fair deal, hand in hand, Honest work across the land. Good work, fair pay, that's the way, Make tomorrow better than today. [Final Chorus] Why can't good guys touch the sky? Why do bad guys get so high? I still believe, come what may, Doing right's the better way. Yes I know, come what may, One day soon, come what may, Honesty is gonna pay.
