Rich Men North Of Richmond lyrics

• Copyright: Oliver Anthony

  ---

  I've been selling my soul
  Working all day
  Overtime hours
  For bullshit pay
  So I can sit out here and waste my life away
  Drag back home and drown my troubles away

  It's a damn shame
  What the world's gotten to
  For people like me and people like you
  Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
  But it is, oh, it is
  Living in the new world
  With an old soul
  These rich men north of Richmond
  Lord knows they all just want to have total control
  Wanna know what you think
  Wanna know what you do
  And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
  Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
  'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

  I wish politicians would look out for miners
  And not just minors on an island somewhere
  Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothing to eat
  And the obese milking welfare
  Well God, if you're 5 foot 3 and you're 300 pounds
  Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
  Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground
  'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down

  Lord, it's a damn shame
  What the world's gotten to
  For people like me and people like you
  Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
  But it is, oh, it is
  Living in the new world
  With an old soul
  These rich men north of Richmond
  Lord knows they all just want to have total control
  Wanna know what you think
  Wanna know what you do
  And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
  'Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
  'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

  I've been selling my soul
  Working all day
  Overtime hours
  For bullshit pay
