There's a rich boy 
	 
But he doesn't spend 
	 		    
He just drinks his Poland Spring 
                        
He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend 
                    
Or at home alone reading 


        	       
And he tries to do good 
        		  
And he tries to do riiii-eeeght 
                      
So he does what he should 
                            
But he's got to subscriiiii-ieebe 
                   
To the rules of the tribe 


	[silence]		   
    Now you're playin' for the team 
	                  
Everybody loves to love a winner 
      [silence]                  
    And you're bustin' the beguine 
                               
Everybody knows you're no beginner 
                        
But ah the bums say oooo-oh 
 		       
Things ain't what they seem 


                                   
You're the respectable member of society 
                              
But you don't have nothin' on me 
                                    
You got your east side certified pedigree 
	                          
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


	           
Because I warned youuuuu 
	          
They would scorn yoouuuu 
	          
But you never did a thing 



	[silence]		   
     When you go in for the kill 
	                     
Everybody wants to make it happen 
	[silence]		   
     And you make a hundred mil 
	                        
Everybody wants to scratch your back then 
                         
But ah the freaks say ooo-oh 
                      
Things ain't what they seem 



                                   
You're the respectable member of society 
                              
But you don't have nothin' on me 
	                             
You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony
 	                          
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


	        
Because I told yooouuu 
                 
They would mold yooouu
             
But you never did a thing
