lirik lagu the rich and the poor – attalus
verse 1
well you know what used to trample on my nerves?
to see bad guys get the lives good guys deserve
while rich men bribe their way to power
the poor men work an honest hour
it all seems upside down and quite absurd
verse 2
well, you know what used to make my stomach sick?
to see good guys get the short end of the stick
well rich men seize an idle throne
the poor men work to build a home
and this, i thought, was all the devil’s trick
pre-chorus
one night i saw the thing the devil doesn’t tell
if you sell your life, every day becomes a living hell
chorus
watch the rich man try to sleep
he rolled for hours beneath the sheets
but there’s still no smile upon his cheeks
watch the poor man hold his girl
he found contentment in those curls
he keeps on smiling, ’cause he’s got the world
verse 3
this is what the poor man understood
that man cannot be happy ’til he’s good
you can’t buy a name for thirty pence
you’ll be sorry when it’s too late to repent
just love your neighbor like a good man should
verse 4
this is what we too should understand
that life not built on love is sinking sand
you can’t buy happiness with gold
you’ll gain the world but lose your soul
’cause a man makes money, but money doesn’t make the man
oh, i said man makes money, but money doesn’t make the man
i said man makes money, but money doesn’t make the man
bridge
and a paradox is speaking through that smile
all the money in the world can’t buy a life worthwhile
and i’ve found what really seperates these men
it’s not what they have without, it’s what they have within
and a paradox is speaking through that smile
all the money in the world can’t buy a life worthwhile
and i’ve found what really separates these men
it’s not what they have without, it’s what they have within
it’s not what they have without, it’s what they have within
it’s not what we have without, it’s what we have within
