Yard Act - Rich lyrics

[Verse 1] Almost by accident, have become rich Through continued reward for skilled labour in the private sector And a genuine lack of interest in expensive things It appears I have become rich And since I have become rich I've been constantly living in fear of losing everything That the bubble will burst and falling from my perch I will return once again to the life that I used to live With the things that didn't have before I had become rich It appears I have become rich (Rich) [Verse 2] I put a pinch away each week in a place my hand wouldn't fit So I cannot reach it, it is made of solid steel A square foot deep with a slit, no bigger than an inch One day, when the seams split in such a way that cannot be restitched I will scratch that insatiable itch and buy the whole hospital And everything in it (In it) Because I am rich It appears I have become rich [Verse 3] You twitching like some headless bird Whilst the witch doctors poached for the stragglers in the herd Pitching for business down on skid row The line goes out the door and you're right at the back Man, two more poor kids dead in a ditch I fu*king love being rich (You can't pin that on me) It appears l have become so rich (So rich) It appears I have become so so rich I'm literally drowning in it But no matter how little I've got I'II never lose the plot On top of the hill looking out over the valley You can see for miles and still get shot The farmer doesn't want his cows getting what the other cows have got He keeps his livestock stock stuffed in his sock That's why he's rich [Chorus] It appears we've both become rich It appears we're both, both very, very, very rich It appears we've both got gout It appears we have no shame It appears I have become rich It appears I have become rich [Verse 4] Lord, forgive me, have mercy on my soul, never No one ever tells you how tough it really is Please teach me How to be modest and how to be rich I've done some terrible things because I'm rich Looking for opportunities in ventures that are bound to bring the silver rain Sure it's a rush being kush But then again, life is a b*tch I've become so rich And people hate you for it, people really hate you for it [Chorus] It appears I have become rich You run a real risk being rich It appears I have become rich It appears I have become rich It appears I have become rich
