Rich Man

Lyrics

When I was young, I was told I'd find
 One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind
 And I'm the one
 A hundred to one says I wouldn't react
 But I'm the one in a hundred who will swing right back
 Yes I'm the one
 Thousands of steps and staircases to climb
 Thousands of men you'd most likely decline
 And yet I'm the one
 10,000 to 1, could I possibly bet?
 I'm compelled by your love and I haven't lost yet
 Clearly you're the one
 One in a million don't mean what it meant
 And these millions of gold coins won't gleam when they're spent
 And you're left with none
 Ten million dollars could win the whole lot
 But if ten million dollars is all that you got
 You won't be the one
 Hundreds of millions of papers to sign
 Hundreds of millions of souls left behind
 And yet we're the ones
 A billion to one, don't the odds make you sick?
 To be one in a billion's a terrible trick
 You're the wretched one
 When I was young, I was told I'd find
 One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind
 And I'm the one
