Rich Folks Hoax |
| The moon is hanging |
| In the purple sky |
| Baby's sleeping |
| While its mother sighs |
| Talking 'bout the rich folks |
| Rich folks have the same jokes |
| And they park in basic places |
| The priest is preaching |
| From a shallow grave |
| He counts his money |
| Then he paints you saved |
| Talking to the young folks |
| Young folks share the same jokes |
| But they meet in older places |
| So don't tell me about your success |
| Nor your recipes for my happiness |
| Smoke in bed, I never could digest |
| Those illusions you claim to have going |
| The sun is shining |
| As it's always done |
| Coffin dust |
| Is the fate of everyone |
| Talking 'bout the rich folks |
| The poor create the rich hoax |
| And only late breast-fed fools, believe it |
| So don't tell me about your success |
| Nor your recipes for my happiness |
| Smoke in bed, I never could digest |
| Those illusions you claim to have going |
