Daddy Rich

(album: Car Wash - 1976)

Wait a minute, look

Here comes Daddy Rich in his mean limousine
People come from everywhere wishing he cleanses their sins
We give you father glory and bless
He says "all you've got to do is believe to get you saved"

I went to Daddy Rich's church last sunday
There was all in a row people out there spending tons of money
A young man jumped up and accused Daddy Rich of being a bitch
Daddy Rich just smiled then began to preach

He said "I feel like those who do not like me calling me a liar
And I will help them say forgive"
Let's start talking about my only desires
Money and my income
'Cause with your money currency you can achieve any pleasure

Money, everybody desires
Money, everybody wants some
Money, everybody belongs
Money give you power, yeah

Remember those words from Daddy Rich
"Money might be the root of all evil, but it's also the answer
To a lot of of our problems, ain't it?"
