The rich man has to have everything so perfect from his toes to his face
not a wrinkle in sight, always clean and shinny not even a hair out of place
The poor man has lines of wisdom that run across his face like a map
you can look in his eyes and see the knowledge there on tap
The rich man takes what he don't need, just because he can and it's fun
he takes all that he can from those that do need, then tosses them to the side when he's done
The poor man is in plain sight, but no one really wants to see
you never know what's going to happen in life, that poor man could be you or me
The rich man thinks everyone owes him for the right to be in his sight
the rich man thinks that everyone else is wrong and only he is right
The poor man, just to talk to the rich man has to get on a list
and when the poor man is gone, by the rich man, he will never be missed
The rich man feels that he has to show you what he's got
he feels he needs to show you where he stays at the top
The poor man doesn't have anything to show because he don't have a lot
no place to go, even after he dies, not even a plot
The rich man with all his money just wants more
If he sees a poor man, he just shuts the door
The poor man just wants his own little place
to have a little of the good life, maybe just a taste
The rich man has never had to worry about if he could pay his bills
he wants to be in the fast lane looking for all the wild thrills
The poor man struggles just to make ends meet
he works twelve hours a day standing on his feet
The rich man always moving going to and fro
has made his plans and knows where he wants to go
The poor manâ??s plans are as simple as it goes
he wants to make it through the day and that's all he knows
The rich man with his cars, yachts, and planes
worries about everything 'till he's almost insane
The poor man gets around by walking and thumbing, or the best way that he can find
but at the end of the day, after all is said and done, the poor man has more peace of mind
