Rich world, poor world, everyday it's gettin' modified
|
Rich world, poor world, aren't you glad you're on the western side
|
Individual luxury just might be the trump of the game
|
If you come back round with a gun at your head, I'm sure the view will never be the same
|
|
I heard something that you never been told
|
You'll have trouble just trying' to get old
|
I got something, gonna give you the word
|
I'm interested if you have heard
|
I don't really mean to bring you right down
|
The safest place for you's way under the ground
|
A hot somethin' that you never been told,
|
Told, you been told, you been told, you been told, you been told, you been told.
|
|
Rich world, poor world, fewer places every day to hide,
|
Rich world, poor world, I like it better on the Western side,
|
A growing epidemic of ignorance been keeping me on the run,
|
With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear, we're gonna wither up one by one
|
|
I got something that you never been told
|
Gonna have trouble just tryin' to get old
|
I got something that you never heard
|
Come on now, just spread the word
|
I got somethin', gonna make you hip
|
Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip
|
For what you got I think you overpaid
|
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.

Rich world, poor world, I like it better on the Western side,

A growing epidemic of ignorance been keepin' us on the run,
|
With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear, we're gonna wither up one by one
|
|
I heard somethin', gonna make you blue
|
Don't get excited cause you know it ain't new
|
I got somethin', gonna make you hip
|
Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip, you hear
|
Now I don't mean to be bringin' you down
|
You won't be safe till you're layin' in the ground
|
For what you got I think you overpaid
|
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.
