Men of Good Fortune

Lyrics

Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
 While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
 The rich son waits for his father to die
 The poor just drink and cry
 And me I just don't care at all
 ♪
 Men of good fortune, very often can't do a thing
 While men of poor beginnings, often can do anything
 At heart, they try to act like a man
 Handle things the best way they can
 They have no rich daddy to fall back on
 ♪
 Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
 While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
 "It takes money to make money," they say
 Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
 Anyway, it makes no difference to me
 ♪
 Men of good fortune, often wish that they could die
 While men of poor beginnings want what they have
 And to get it they'll die
 All those great things that live has to give
 They wanna have money and live
 But me, I just don't care at all
 ♪
 Men of good fortune
 Men of poor beginnings
 Men of good fortune
 Men of poor beginnings
 Men of good fortune
 Men of poor beginnings
 Men of good fortune
 ♪
 Men of poor beginnings
 Men of good fortune
