lyrics
Don't worry about the Rich Man, he's doing just fine X3
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?
The Rich Man, he wears $900 shoes X3
while the Poor Man wraps his feet in paper news
The Rich Man he eats in a restaurant so fine X3
while the Poor Man's standing in the ol' bread line
Don't worry about the Rich Man, he's doing just fine X3
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?
The Rich Man he owns all the media time X3
while the Poor Man's got a corner cardboard sign
Rich Kids wanna go to college, they ain't worried about a thing X3
cus the Rich Man's gonna bribe their way in
Don't worry about the Rich Man, he's doing just fine X3
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?
The Rich Man he never has to answer for his crimes X3
when he gets caught it's his money doing time
The Rich Man he treats all women like a toy X3
when he gets caught he's a crying baby boy
Don't worry about the Rich Man, he's doing just fine X3
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?
