Talk Is Cheap Songtext
von Federale

Richard Cory is the richest man in town
Richard Cory is the richest man in town
He made a mill out of breaking poor folks′ backs
He's got so much money that he can′t be taxed
But talk is cheap, and I'm the poorest boy in town


My father died when I was just a boy
He worked for Richard, but now he's unemployed
So I don′t hate the man because he′s rich
But because he's an evil son of a bitch
And I won′t rest 'til he′s the deadest man in town

Richard Cory found dead on New Year's Day
But it wasn′t by my hand, I'm surprised to say
It seems that everything that old Richard had
Ain't enough to keep a man from going mad

Now Richard Cory is the deadest man around
The richest man lying six feet underground
