Some Get Rich

E   A   B   E

E          A
61st floor way downtown,
E
From cubicle 423
               B
You can't see what's coming down
    E
The mail lady brings a pink slip
       A
And an empty box for my desk
       E             A             
Says, "Pack what you brought leave 
B      E
us the rest."

E
Down in the parking garage I pray my
 truck starts again
E                             B
When the CEO passes me in his new 
Mercedes Benz
Continúa después del anuncio
     E
He's toking on a Cuban
           A
While mine blows out the tailpipe
E        A              B        E
Some get rich while the rest get by
    A
The rich keep getting richer, but I 
keep staying poor
    E
I'm working this overtime to help 
event the score
   A
It feels like I'm working towards 
the welfare line,
F#m                  B
But someday I'll get mine
The big boss man and his jolly 
pirate crew
Were watching and planning
And plotting to get away with the 
loot
So clever and so quiet,
Wall Street never heard a sound
They grabbed the last piece of gold 
as the ship went down

Now there's handcuffs jangling 
against a Rolex watch
And a squad car at the palace there 
to chauffeur him off
But, you know, I'll bet some poor 
working stiff gets stuck serving the
 time
Cause some get rich while the rest 
get by

(Chorus)

I met up with old Saint Peter there
At the Great Pearly Gates
He told my old boss in front of me,
"Sir you'll have to wait."
Then he waved me on through and he 
winked his eye
He told me, "Some get rich while the
 rest get by."
