Sucks To Be Rich (Greenbelt '11)

I'll be honest, I was originally going to call this "Those Poor Rich Folk", but my dad went ahead and uploaded it under this name, and meh. It's as good a name as any.

Lyrics:
Oh, those poor rich folk,
No, this ain't sarcasm, this ain't no joke,
They've been brought to their knees,
Cos they can barely afford that gold Mercedes.
And now the markets have blown,
They've had to sell five of their fifteen homes,
Oh it sucks to be rich, these days

They didn't see it coming, oh ain't that funny,
Cos they were all blinded by big bags of money,
They made a mistake, and now they know,
Cos they had to let 8 of their servants go.
Oh, shed a tear, for the rich.

Your rioting cos you can't afford water,
Well, they can't buy a boat for their daughter.
We're all affected in these hard days,
The bank might take your house away.
It's hard for the rich too, can't you see?
They can't even buy BSkyB,
Oh it sucks, to be rich, these days.

They didn't see it coming, oh ain't that funny,
Cos they were all blinded by big bags of money,
They know the messed up, oh yes they do,
Cos they had to get rid of their marble loo,
Oh, shed a tear, for the rich.

There may be 2.5 million on the dole,
But the rich can't cover their beds with gold,
Even with David Cameron on their side,
They might have to start paying taxes this time,
And the hardships are not over yet,
They may have to sell their private jet.
Oh it sucks to be rich these days.


They didn't see it coming, oh ain't that funny,
Cos they were all blinded by big bags of money,
They know the messed up, oh yes they do,
Cos they had to get rid of their marble loo,
Oh, shed a tear, for the rich.
Oh shed a tear for those evil money grabbing self-rewarding uncaring crisis causing blind, selfish, small-balled pricks.

@GeckoFaceEater :D Thanks.

I've been meaning to get round to recording a better version of both this and the "Apathetic Protest Song"...

[GeckoFaceEater]

aah excellent song :D so glad this turned up on youtube - I'm somewhere out of the shot in this video, and it's been half-stuck in my head for the last few months, and I've been trying to remember how it went!
