They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town, |
| [00:16.47] |
With political connections to spread his wealth around. |
| [00:22.87] |
Born into society, a banker's only child, |
| [00:27.56] |
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style. |
| [00:36.06] |
But I work in his factory |
| [00:41.18] |
And I curse the life I'm living |
| [00:44.50] |
And I curse my poverty |
| [00:47.10] |
And I wish that I could be, |
| [00:49.98] |
Oh, I wish that I could be, |
| [00:52.95] |
Oh, I wish that I could be |
| [00:56.36] |
Richard Cory. |
| [01:02.63] |
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes: |
| [01:08.06] |
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show. |
| [01:14.01] |
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht! |
| [01:19.54] |
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got. |
| [01:27.64] |
But I work in his factory |
| [01:33.02] |
And I curse the life I'm living |
| [01:35.86] |
And I curse my poverty |
| [01:38.63] |
And I wish that I could be, |
| [01:41.65] |
Oh, I wish that I could be, |
| [01:44.62] |
Oh, I wish that I could be |
| [01:48.10] |
Richard Cory. |
| [01:54.33] |
He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch, |
| [01:59.81] |
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much, |
| [02:05.29] |
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read: |
| [02:12.05] |
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head." |
| [02:20.90] |
But I work in his factory |
| [02:26.93] |
And I curse the life I'm living |
| [02:29.07] |
And I curse my poverty |
| [02:31.93] |
And I wish that I could be, |
| [02:35.16] |
Oh, I wish that I could be, |
| [02:38.35] |
Oh, I wish that I could be |
| [02:40.64] |
Richard Cory. |
