You now wear the best of clothes.
You drive the best of cars.
And seems as dense then Paris Hilton comment about Walmart.
It must be nice to be rich.

You shocked and amazed.
When you run into the poor.
Except only you're surprised.
Cause you're not around many less fortunate all the time.
It must be nice to be rich.
When you make the dumbest of comments.

You wonder about the scriptures that says, the poor should inherit the earth.
Even, the Lord above knew that people with  wealth must suffer.
Oh, the love of money creates so much evil.
Still, it must be nice to be rich.

And you, who seems to have the best of education?
Comes across as needing more education.
It's the poor that makes us grand.
Who's more likely to make a stand against wrong?
Why the rich plays along?
Until, they have to make a decision.

To be cut out of the will.
Or negogiate a new deal.
Yes, it's nice to be rich.
To not have to worry about anyone else.
Until, you need them.
