Rich Man lyrics

When I was young, I was told I'd find

One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind

And I’m the one

A hundred to one says I wouldn't react

But I'm the one in a hundred who would swing right back

Yes, I’m the one

Thousands of steps and staircases to climb

Thousands of men you'd most likely decline

And yet I'm the one

Ten thousand to one, could I possibly bet?

I'm compelled by your love and I haven't lost yet

Clearly, you're the one

One in a million don't mean what it meant

And these millions of gold coins don't gleam when they’re spent

You’re left with none

Ten million dollars could win the whole lot

But if ten million dollars is all that you got

You won't be the one

Hundreds of millions of papers to sign

Hundreds of millions of souls left behind

And yet, we’re the ones

A billion to one, don't the odds make you sick?

To be one in a billion's a terrible trick

You're the wretched one

When I was young, I was told I’d find

One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind

And I'm the one
