Dave Alvin - Rich Man's Town lyrics

As tough as you are somebody's tougher As strong as you are somebody's stronger But as weak as you are somebody's weaker When you're living in a Rich Man's Town As high as you are somebody's higher As tall as you are somebody's taller But as low as you are somebody's lower When you're living in a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town People look you in the eye But when they look In a Rich Man's Town No one sees you as you cry As quick as you are somebody's quicker As sharp as you are somebody's sharper But as slow as you are somebody's slower When you're living in a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town People fall like drops of rain But when you fall In a Rich Man's Town Even God forgets your nam 'Cuz as much as you got somebody's got more As much as you get somebody gets more But as much as you need somebody needs more When you're living in a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town In a Rich Man's Town As poor as you are somebody's poorer When you're living in a Rich Man's Town
