rich man north of richmond
well i sold my soul
at work all day
lots of overtime
for a modest salary
so i can sit out here
and ruin my life
drag me home
and drown my sorrows
it’s such a shame
what happened to the world
for people like me
more people like you
i wish i could wake up
and it won’t be true
but so is
i want to go to sleep
to live in the new world
with an old soul
Those rich people north of Richmond
lord knows it
they all want complete control
want to know what you think
want to know what you do
and they don’t think you know
but i know you do
because your money is very valuable
and taxed unlimited
because of rich men
north of richmond
i wish politicians luck
took care of the miners
and not just about minors on an island
god we have people on the street
who have nothing to eat
and fat milk wellness
But oh my god, when you’re six feet tall
and you weigh one hundred thirty six kilos
should not be taxed
pay for your bag of candy
young people bring themselves
in a cold grave
because that’s all this country does
dusting it all the time
oh lord it’s such a shame
what happened to the world
for people like me
more people like you
i wish i could wake up
and it won’t be true
but so is
i want to go to sleep
to live in the new world
with an old soul
Those rich people north of Richmond
lord knows it
they all want complete control
want to know what you think
want to know what you do
and they don’t think you know
but i know you do
because your money is very valuable
and taxed unlimited
because of rich men
north of richmond
i sold my soul
at work all day
lots of overtime
for a modest salary
