When you come down From your Ivory Tower You will see how it really must be To be like me, to see like me To feel like me Take a look at me, I'm a poor man's son I never did no harm to no one You've got money in the bank And I don't have none When you come down From your Ivory Tower You will see how it really must be To be like me, to see like me To feel like me You can see through your rose colored glasses In a world that seems like glamor to you You've got opinions and judgments about All kinds of things That you don't know anything about Don't you know the price that I have to pay Just to do everything I have to do Do you think that there's nothing to it You should try it sometime When you come down From your Ivory Tower You will see how it really must be To be like me, to see like me To feel like me
