Rich Lyrics by Lloyd Cole

Rich Lyrics

    She left you 1958
    When the thought of another fifteen years
    Was more than she could face
    But did you miss her much well hey
    You never gave her too much thought
    In your newspaper grey
    So waste away to morro bay
    You never got around to yesterday
    But money is for taking yes
    And rich is what to be forsaken grey
    And giving it away
    And even jesus has a price
    You're making credit card donations to television faith healers
    Born again missionaries come to morro bay
    They saved your body but your mind hey
    And everything you earned
    You're going to throw it all away
    And waste away tomorrow
    C.a. is where everybody falls down off the wagon under the wheels
    Remember 1970
    When the thought of a day without a drink
    Was more than you could face
    But did you miss her much well hey
    You never gave her too much thought
    In your newspaper grey
    So waste away to morro bay
    Saved your body but your mind paid
    But money is for taking yes
    And rich is what to be forsaken
    Grey and giving it away
    You're going to hurt somebody if you can
    You're going to make somebody understand
    Baby you're a rich man
    Baby you're a rich man
