lyrics

I can't sing to the music of a rich man
I tried and failed you see
I wanna listen to the songs of a a guy
Poor and unknown just like me


I can't listen to that music
Cause I picture him drinking champagne
Smoking good cigars, fucking pretty dames
By the fireplace and big white Dane


I can't listen to the music of a wealthy man
To remind me that my life sucks
And I make it only wiggling through the cracks
Let's face it:
If I am to be a hero it is accident
If I am to be famous it is incident
If I didn't make it by thirty why try
To drink vinegar instead of wine?


I can't sing to the music of a rich man
Reminiscing all the chances that passed me by
Cause his songs tell me: How unperfect you are!
I can't sing to the music of a rich man
Even though it is smooth and fine
No, I can't sing to the music of a rich man
Cause he's never been under breadline
