Am 
There's a rich boy 
      C 
But he doesn't spend 
      F                E 
He just drinks his Poland Spring 
       Am                C 
He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend 
      F             E 
Or at home alone reading 


       Dm             E 
And he tries to do good 
       F              E 
And he tries to do riiii-eeeght 
      Dm               E 
So he does what he should 
         F                  G 
But he's got to subscriiiii-ieebe 
       Dm           E 
To the rules of the tribe 


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


              Am                    C 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F                     E 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
             Am                      C 
You got your east side certified pedigree 
      F                         E 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


        Dm        E 
Because I warned youuuuu 
         F      E 
They would scorn yoouuuu 
      Dm          E
But you never did a thing 


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


              Am                    C 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F                     E 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
         Am                         C 
You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony
       F                         E 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


        Dm     E 
Because I told yooouuu 
           F     E 
They would mold yooouu
        Dm    E 
But you never did a thing
