Rich and Poor

Face it boy

This was all a disguise

A way to deceive us

And we were none of us wise

We're all confused

Can't you see how we're standing

With eyes on the door

And backs to the corners

That's the cost of love

The price of fame

For the cost of good fortune

The price you pay is shame

And there's decency

There's decency and fear

But no certainty

No certainty

So tell me why

We are rich but we are poor

Is it right

We can't fight it no more

Tell me how when we paid

In so many ways

We don't feel it anymore

We are rich but we are poor

Face it boy

We are none of us pretty

Inside we're all scarred

Outside we're just plain scared

We're just plain scared

So tell me why

We are rich but we are poor

Is it right

We can't fight it no more

Tell me how when we paid

In so many ways

We don't feel it anymore

Good God almighty

This mess we're in

We come out fighting

But we never seem to win

Have we forgotten

What to struggle for

Why must we be

Why must we be rich and poor

So tell me why

We are rich but we are poor

Is it right

We can't fight it no more

Tell me how when we paid

In so many ways

We don't feel it anymore

We are rich but we are poor
