Rich Men Do

from Golden Delicious by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

5, 6, 7, 8, 9 dollars an hour
My life’s worth more than this damn collar
Choking my throat til my face turns blue
To match the uniform you stuck me into

10, 20, 30, 40 thousand bucks a year
It sounds good now, but how it quickly disappears
Just like me as my skin fades white
Sitting at this desk and getting paid to die

Any color collar is just a decorated noose
I want to run naked like the rich men do

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 million or more
Bring all you have and set your bags down on my floor
I’ll give you my shirt and I’ll trade you my shoes
So I can run naked like the rich men do

Cause any color collar is just a decorated noose
I want to run naked like the rich men do
Don’t be shy, come on let’s all get loose
So we can run naked like the rich men do
