Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
|
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
|
The rich son waits for his father to die
|
The poor just drink and cry
|
And me I just don't care at all
|
|
Men of good fortune, very often can't do a thing
|
While men of poor beginnings, often can do anything
|
At heart they try to act like a man
|
Handle things the best way they can
|
They have no rich daddy to fall back on
|
|
Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
|
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
|
It takes money to make money they say
|
Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
|
Anyway, it makes no difference to me
|
|
Men of good fortune, often wish that they could die
|
While men of poor beginnings want what they have
|
And to get it they'll die
|
All those great things that live has to give
|
They wanna have money and live
|
But me, I just don't care at all
|
|
Men of good fortune
