  • Rich Men North Of Richmond Lyrics

    I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
    Overtime hours for 
    bullshit pay

    So I can sit out here and waste
     my life away
    Drag back home and drown my troubles away

    It's a damn shame what the
     world's gotten to
    For people like me and people
     like you
    Wish I could just wake
     up and it not be true
    But it is, oh, it is

    Livin' in the new world,With an old soul
    These rich men north of Richmond
    Lord knows they all just wanna have total control

    Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
    And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
    'Cause your dollar ain't shit
     and it's taxed to no end
    'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

    I wish politicians would
     look out for miners
    And not just minors on an 
    island somewhere
    Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
    And the obese milkin' welfare

    Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
    Taxes ought not to pay for your 
    bags of fudge rounds
    Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
    'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

    Lord, it's a damn shame
     what the world's gotten to
    For people like me and people 
    like you
    Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
    But it is, oh, it is

    Livin' in the new world,With an old soul
    These rich men north of Richmond

    Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
    Wanna know what you think, wanna 
    know what you do
    And they don't think you know, but I
     know that you do

    'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
    'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
    I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day

    Overtime hours for bullshit pay
