"Rich And Poor" lyrics

Face it boy
This was all a disguise
A way to deceive us
And we were none of us wise
We're all confused
Can't you see how we're standing
With eyes on the door
And backs to the corners

That's the cost of love
The price of fame
For the cost of good fortune
The price you pay is shame
And there's decency
There's decency and fear
But no certainty
No certainty

So tell me why
We are rich but we are poor
Is it right
We can't fight it no more
Tell me how when we paid
In so many ways
We don't feel it anymore
We are rich but we are poor

Face it boy
We are none of us pretty
Inside we're all scarred
Outside we're just plain scared
We're just plain scared

So tell me why
We are rich but we are poor
Is it right
We can't fight it no more
Tell me how when we paid
In so many ways
We don't feel it anymore

Good God almighty
This mess we're in
We come out fighting
But we never seem to win
Have we forgotten
What to struggle for
Why must we be
Why must we be rich and poor

So tell me why
We are rich but we are poor
Is it right
We can't fight it no more
Tell me how when we paid
In so many ways
We don't feel it anymore
We are rich but we are poor
