They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
                                  
With political connections He spreads his wealth around. He Was

Born into society, a banker's only child,
                               
He had everything a man could want: Money , Praise , and style.


                                                          
The papers print his picture almost everyplace he goes:
                         
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at The  shows
        
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
                            
He Really  must be happy         with everything he's got.


                 
But I work in his factory 
                       
And I curse the life I'm living 
           
I curse my poverty 
                 
I wish that I could be, 
                  
I wish that I could be, 
                      
Oh, I wish that I could be,
     
John Denver. 

                                    
He Really gave to The  charity, had the common touch,
                                            
And they were Thankful for his patronage.. So They   thank You very much,
      
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
                                                                      
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."


                 
But I work in his factory 
                       
And I curse the life I'm living 
           
I curse my poverty 
                  
I wish that I could be, 
                  
I wish that I could be, 
                      
Oh, I wish that I could be,
        
Richard Cory.
