[ti:Rich Folks Hoax]
[ar:Sixto Rodriguez]
[al:Cold Fact]
[00:09.13] The moon is hanging in the purple sky
[00:18.27] The baby's sleeping while its mother sighs
[00:28.51] Talking 'bout the rich folks
[00:32.21] Rich folks have the same jokes
[00:35.65] And they park in basic places.
[00:42.12] The priest is preaching from a shallow grave
[00:51.15] He counts his money, then he paints you saved
[01:01.18] Talking to the young folks
[01:04.99] Young folks share the same jokes
[01:08.49] But they meet in older places.
[01:14.23] So don't tell me about your success
[01:23.89] Nor your recipes for my happiness
[01:31.35] Smoke in bed
[01:33.02] I never could digest
[01:37.49] Those illusions you claim to have going.
[01:45.66] The sun is shining, as it's always done
[01:54.84] Coffin dust is the fate of everyone
[02:04.82] Talking 'bout the rich folks
[02:08.68] The poor create the rich hoax
[02:12.22] And only late breast-fed fools believe it.
[02:19.98] So don't tell me about your success
[02:29.25] Nor your recipes for my happiness
[02:36.83] Smoke in bed
[02:38.42] I never could digest
[02:43.09] Those illusions you claim to have going
