Riches to Rags

I’ve been around way too long to care or wonder Why am I bound to witness all this mess? I guess Wherever you go – it’s the same, so I’m sure it’s a name of the game If you’re quick on a trigger (quick on a trigger), richer and bigger (richer and bigger) You’d stay a bit longer, get a bit stronger, hope for the best, it’s alright You can save every dime, hide or bury it all But the higher you climb... even harder you fall Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on stuffing these bags In a blink of an eye... you’ll go from riches to rags! (Don’t forget! Then again... go ahead) Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on packing these bags In a blink of an eye... you’ll go from riches to rags I’ve been around way too long to care or wonder Who’s going down, who’s to blame or why... oh my Do as you pleased but watch out Oh here’s what I’m talking about Hurry, pick up your number (pick up your number) Oh who’s going under? (Who’s going under?) Look at these faces, glittering places... There is no easy way out You can save every dime, hide or bury it all But the higher you climb... even harder you fall Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on stuffing these bags In a blink of an eye... you’ll go from riches to rags! (Don’t forget! Then again... go ahead) Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on packing these bags In a blink of an eye... you’ll go from riches to rags... You can save every dime, hide or bury it all But the higher you climb... even harder you fall Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on stuffing these bags In a blink of an eye... you’ll go from riches to rags!
