Honest Wage - Struggle Pretty
September 2014
Herndon, Virginia
Filmed and Recorded - Peter Von Kahle
Performed - Penny & Sparrow
Lyrics:
When you called, it was loud; I got angry.
I was everything but sober.
I said things that were ruthless, and I meant 'em,
But you told me to come over.
You say he's in town, and you're crying,
And you're throwing him one hell of a party.
So I hang up and start shaking, thinking
You never threw one for me.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
So, I drove when I shouldn't (But I'll make it; I'm feeling alright),
You walk out, (I'm a mess), you look perfect...
I figured you might...
Next thing I know, I'm exploding,
And everything feels awful and wrong.
And he's there, right beside you,
But the music inside is our song.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, no, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth,
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage.
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be...
He's the one who left home; I'm the one who stayed.
I just get so angry when
You say you love him so,
I wanna be more like him;
I wanna know there's hope. - Hudba
What a gorgeous take on the prodigal's older brother.
Hearing this for the first time since I was 17. Nearly a decade and this song still makes my bones ache for someone I'll never have, and someone I'll never be, again.
Penny and Sparrow has the most genuine lyrics and performing of any band ever. One of my personal favorites because I empathize with the lyrics. I will always love this band.
I just now discovered them. And I LOVE their music. You're correct about their lyrics.
I am obsessed with this song. I cant get over the harmony. It's so amazing...
This will always hit me
This needs more views. Like a million more.
2019 and this song sounds just as good as the first time hearing it.
I so in love with song and it makes me upset that there is not a lot more views. Because this song should have over 1 million views.
. . . Wow . . .
Never cease to impress.

It makes every cell in my body ache and want to split in two. Soooooo painfully beautiful!
i've watched this so many times
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
This is one of my favorite songs. I am so sad that I've missed your shows when you're in Seattle. Please keep coming.
Prodigal Son inspired? Beautiful, honest lyrics. This song touched my heart!
I talked to them at one of their concerts and they said that this song is about the older son who stays while their song thunder is about the younger son who leaves then comes home! Awesome stuff!
Wow, that's so cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Sure thing! YOu ought go to one of their concerts and talk to them afterwards, they are some really genuine and down-to-earth guys
Check out their medley, Serial Doubter (the medley contains serial doubter, patience first and patience please)-- I'm pretty sure it's more Prodigal Son narrative, from the perspective of the Father! With some added modern day nuances.
Bryan Forbes Yaaaaaa I've been wondering what that one was about! Its so beautiful and I was sure that it wasn't about a woman because none of their songs are what they seem. thanks for your thoughts!
Wonderous! My my my!
2021, still here! Timeless it seems.
You guys are so crazy good! I found out about you a couple weeks ago and you blow mind! Your lyrics have such a beautiful effect on the way I pray and my spritual life in general. Thanks so much and keep up the gorgeous music!
show your friends and spread the magic! :)
Gorgeous!
If it were possible to swim inside the sound of someone's voice, I would in yours - under a sky full of stars. It's just so gorgeous. I have loved you guys since hearing you open for Drew Holcomb. Sigh... :)
