Lyrics
Rich Kid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The rich kids got the money
The rich kids play the stars
Walk around in fancy clothes
And drive them flashy cars
The rich girls get the jewelery
The rich boys get the girls
Playin' "Mr. Romeo"
They think they own the world
Breakdown you can lose control
They don't think nothin' of you
Not unless you're a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you
I ain't got no money - and I ain't got a home
I hang around the parking lot when all the cars are gone
I don't read the papers - the news is all the same
Tell you it's a rich man's world -
And you play the rich man's game
Come 'round to the judgement day there won't be nothin' for you
Not unless you're a rich kid too
You're a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you
Don't care what price I pay
I ain't got nothin' to lose
I wanna be rich like you
I won't be shot down when I get my way
I won't be comin' to you
Cause I'll be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you...
