Talk Is Cheap

Richard Cory is the richest man in town

Richard Cory is the richest man in town

He made a mill out of breaking poor folks' backs

He's got so much money that he can't be taxed

But talk is cheap, and I'm the poorest boy in town

My father died when I was just a boy

He worked for Richard, but now he's unemployed

So I don't hate the man because he's rich

But because he's an evil son of a bitch

And I won't rest 'til he's the deadest man in town

Richard Cory found dead on New Year's Day

But it wasn't by my hand, I'm surprised to say

It seems that everything that old Richard had

Ain't enough to keep a man from going mad

Now Richard Cory is the deadest man around

The richest man lying six feet underground
