The Guess Who - Rich World/Poor World lyrics

Rich world, poor world, everyday it's gettin' modified Rich world, poor world, aren't you glad you're on the western side Individual luxury just might be the trump of the game If you come back round with a gun at your head, I'm sure the view will never be the same I heard something that you never been told You'll have trouble just trying' to get old I got something, gonna give you the word I'm interested if you have heard I don't really mean to bring you right down The safest place for you's way under the ground A hot somethin' that you never been told, Told, you been told, you been told, you been told, you been told, you been told. Rich world, poor world, fewer places every day to hide, Rich world, poor world, I like it better on the Western side, A growing epidemic of ignorance been keeping me on the run, With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear, we're gonna wither up one by one I got something that you never been told Gonna have trouble just tryin' to get old I got something that you never heard Come on now, just spread the word I got somethin', gonna make you hip Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip For what you got I think you overpaid I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid. Rich world, poor world, everyday it's gettin' modified, Rich world, poor world, I like it better on the Western side, A growing epidemic of ignorance been keepin' us on the run, With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear, we're gonna wither up one by one I heard somethin', gonna make you blue Don't get excited cause you know it ain't new I got somethin', gonna make you hip Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip, you hear Now I don't mean to be bringin' you down You won't be safe till you're layin' in the ground For what you got I think you overpaid I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.
