Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey
[Verse 1]
You can build yourself a skyscraper live on top
But the chaos raging below ain't gonna stop
You can censor every newspaper, regulate what's read
But the truth will find a way to rear its head
[Chorus]
Oh, rich man, all your gold
Will not stop you from growing old
Will not shield you from bullets flying
Will not halt your loved ones dying
So live it up while you can
Cause that hourglass is running low on
Sand
[Verse 2]
You can hide behind your sunglasses
Block what you don't want to see
But it won't absolve you of responsibility
So you surround yourself with sycophants
To tell you what you want to hear
But the things unsaid will never disappear, no no
[Chorus]
Rich man, all your gold
Will not stop you from growing old
Will not shield you from bullets flying
Will not halt your loved ones dying
So live it up while you can
Cause that hourglass is running low on
Sand
[Bridge]
Rise or fall, boom or bust
All your toys will turn to rust
And we will all return to dust
What are you gonna leave behind?
[Chorus]
Rich man, all your gold
Will not stop you from growing old
Will not shield you from bullets flying
Will not halt your loved ones dying
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Oh, Rich man, all your gold
Will not stop you from growing old
Will not shield you from bullets flying
Will not halt your loved ones dying
No no
So live it up while you can
Or give it up while you can
Cause that hourglass is running low on
Sand
Rich man
Ooooh
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
