Some people have got all the riches
Fancy cars and mansions in the hills
Some people sail around the world in luxury
Drinking good bourbon and poppin' pills
Some people got less than nothin'
Livin' in a shack without nary a dime
Some people work their fingers to the bone
Dreamin' about heaven and bidin' their time
Chorus
The rich get richer or so they say
While the poor work harder every day
Seems to me there should be a better way
But I don't think we've found it
The rich make their bucks on a poor man's back
While the poor go hungry for their lack
Seems it's a Porsche or a Poniac
As the world turns round and round
Bridge
There used to be a middle class
But there weren't no trickle down
Slowly it began to disappear
From town to town to town
Some people thank God for every meal
Sleepin' on the floor but happy with that
Some people hoard every single dollar
A starvin' kitten and a big fat cat
Repeat chorus
