Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
You can fool some people
But you can't fool me
Harbor all the hate and greed
Threaten demise of democracy

[Chorus]
There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind
With celebrity

There are darker times for me
Behind smoke and mirrors, amputees
It's a different world
Now i see the deflowering
Of the birds and bees

[Chorus]

You can fight for the right to be
But ya better not do a bad show on MTV

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
You can fool some people but you can't fool me
Smart bombs, rock stars, suit case queens
God's love we deliver out destiny

[Chorus]

Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea

[Chorus]

Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea
