richard cory - the gypsy west lyrics

they say that richard cory owns one half of this whole town
with political connections to spread his wealth around
born into society a banker’s only child
he had everything a man could want, power, grace and style

but i work in this factory
and i curse the life i’m living and i curse my poverty
and i wish that i could be richard cory

the papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
richard cory at the opera, richard cory at the show
and the rumors of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
well, he surely must be happy with everything he’s got
he really gave to charity, he had the common touch
and they were thankful for his patronage, they liked him very much
so my mind, it filled with wonder as the evening headlines read
richard cory came home last night and put a bullet through his head

but i work in his factory
and i curse the life i’m living and i curse my poverty
and i wish that i could be richard cory
