Billy Joel

Billy Joel's, "Honesty"
Better Lyrics:
Full immunity for presidents is absurd
Expecting that shows Lump's a loon
Full immunity for presidents is so absurd
Expecting that shows that Clump's a kook
Original Lyrics:
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
