Poor Man's Blues

Lyrics

Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
 Open up your heart and mind
 ♪
 Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
 Open up your heart and mind
 ♪
 Give the poor man a chance
 Help stop these hard, hard time
 ♪
 While you livin' in your mansion
 You don't know what hard time means
 ♪
 While you livin' in your mansion
 You don't know what hard time means
 ♪
 Oh, workin' man's wife is starvin'
 Your wife is livin' like a queen
 ♪
 Please, listen to my pleadin'
 'Cause I can't stand these hard time long
 
 Oh, listen to my pleadin'
 Can't stand these hard time long
 ♪
 They'll make an honest man do things
 That you know is wrong
 
 All man fought all the battles
 All man would fight again today
 
 All man fought all the battles
 All man would fight again today
 ♪
 He would do anything you ask him
 In the name of the USA
 ♪
 Now the war is over
 All man must live the same as you
 ♪
 Now the war is over
 All man must live the same as you
 ♪
 If it wasn't for the poor man
 Mister Rich Man, what would you do?
