Riches To Rags

I've been around way too long to care or wonder

Why am I bound to witness all this mess? I guess

Wherever you go – it's the same, so I'm

Sure it's a name of the game

If you're quick on a trigger, richer and bigger

You'd stay a bit longer, get a bit stronger, hope for the best. It's alright

You can save every dime, hide or bury it all

But the higher you climb… even harder you fall

Carry on, don't be shy – keep on stuffing these bags

In a blink of an eye you'll go from riches to rags

Don't forget! Then again… go ahead

Carry on, don't be shy – keep on packing these bags

In a blink of an eye you'll go from riches to rags

I've been around way too long to care or wonder

Who's going down, who's to blame or why… oh my

Do as you pleased but watch out

Here's what I'm talking about

Hurry, pick up your number… who's going under?

Look at these faces, glittering places…

There is no easy way out
