Rich Kid

(album: Tale Of The Tape - 1980)

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
Playing "Mr. Romeo"
They think they own the world

Breakdown you can lose control
They don't think nothing 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 nothing 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 nothing to lose
I wanna be rich like you
I won't be shot down when I get my way
I won't be coming 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...
