A5 
There's a rich boy 
      C5 
But he doesn't spend 
      F5                E5 
He just drinks his Poland Spring 
       A5                C5 
He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend 
      F5             E5 
Or at home alone reading 


       D5             E5 
And he tries to do good 
       F5              E5 
And he tries to do riiii-eeeght 
      D5               E5 
So he does what he should 
         F5                  G5 
But he's got to subscriiiii-ieebe 
       D5           E5 
To the rules of the tribe 


A5      [silence]               A5
    Now you're playin' for the team 
        F5               E5 
Everybody loves to love a winner 
A5      [silence]                  A5
    And you're bustin' the beguine 
          F5                    E5 
Everybody knows you're no beginner 
           D5            E5 
But ah the bums say oooo-oh 
F5                    G#5
Things ain't what they seem 


              A5                    C5 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F5                     E5 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
             A5                      C5 
You got your east side certified pedigree 
      F5                         E5 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


        D5        E5 
Because I warned youuuuu 
         F5      E5 
They would scorn yoouuuu 
      D5          E5
But you never did a thing 


A5      [silence]               A5
     When you go in for the kill 
        F5                  E5 
Everybody wants to make it happen 
A5      [silence]               A5
     And you make a hundred mil 
        F5                     E5 
Everybody wants to scratch your back then 
    D5                    E5 
But ah the freaks say ooo-oh 
F5                      G#5
Things ain't what they seem 


              A5                    C5 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F5                     E5 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
         A5                         C5 
You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony
       F5                         E5 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


        D5     E5 
Because I told yooouuu 
           F5     E5 
They would mold yooouu
        D5    E5 
But you never did a thing
