[Am]

There's a rich boy

[C]

But he doesn't spend

[F] [E]

He just drinks his Poland Spring

[Am] [C]

He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend

[F] [E]

Or at home alone reading

[Dm] [E]

And he tries to do good

[F] [E]

And he tries to do riiii-eeeght

[Dm] [E]

So he does what he should

[F] [G]

But he's got to subscriiiii-ieebe

[Dm] [E]

To the rules of the tribe

[Am] [silence] [Am]

Now you're playin' for the team

[F] [E]

Everybody loves to love a winner

[Am] [silence] [Am]

And you're bustin' the beguine

[F] [E]

Everybody knows you're no beginner

[Dm] [E]

But ah the bums say oooo-oh

[F] [G#]

Things ain't what they seem

[Am] [C]

You're the respectable member of society

[F] [E]

But you don't have nothin' on me

[Am] [C]

You got your east side certified pedigree

[F] [E]

But you won't have nothin' you'll see

[Dm] [E]

Because I warned youuuuu

[F] [E]

They would scorn yoouuuu

[Dm] [E]

But you never did a thing

[Am] [silence] [Am]

When you go in for the kill

[F] [E]

Everybody wants to make it happen

[Am] [silence] [Am]

And you make a hundred mil

[F] [E]

Everybody wants to scratch your back then

[Dm] [E]

But ah the freaks say ooo-oh

[F] [G#]

Things ain't what they seem

[Am] [C]

You're the respectable member of society

[F] [E]

But you don't have nothin' on me

[Am] [C]

You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony

[F] [E]

But you won't have nothin' you'll see

[Dm] [E]

Because I told yooouuu

[F] [E]

They would mold yooouu

[Dm] [E]

But you never did a thing
