Second Rich Man´s Spiritual
Misery's got a hold of me. Misery's got a hold of me
Used to be a happy man, used to be a happy man
Always looked towards the side with the sun, used to
Frivolity's got a hold of me
See it with my eyes whenever my eyes can see
There must be more than eating and a big house
There must be more than being on the TV—TV—TV, woe—woe
Those that got it don't want to give it up
Those that got it only want to get more, get more
Those that need it only want to get it
They want to get it easily, easily, all for free, all for free
Everyone believes now that they deserve to get it
In the world of greed now it's gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, no spirituality
Just gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Lost spirituality, woe-- woe
Sing a rich man's spiritual, sing that rich man's spiritual
Then send your money here, send your money here
We'll pray for you, you can have heaven too
You can see us on the TV, you can see us on the TV
You can see us on the TV
We're just like you, and we need money too
We have three or four cars, wear latest label clothes
We'll make our heaven here
We buy what we need and do what we please
That's a rich man's creed
Misery's got a hold of me. Misery's got a hold of me
Escape watching TV, all the beautiful people there
Escape watching TV, look what you're missing
We are all heroes now, nobody reads
Commonality rules the world, so have mercy on me
Illiterates abound, so have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy on me
Sing a rich man's spiritual, they sing a rich man's spiritual
Sing a rich man's spiritual, woe—woe—woe
Used to be a happy man, used to be a happy man
Always looked towards the side with the sun, used to
Frivolity's got a hold of me
See it with my eyes whenever my eyes can see
There must be more than eating and a big house
There must be more than being on the TV—TV—TV, woe—woe
Those that got it don't want to give it up
Those that got it only want to get more, get more
Those that need it only want to get it
They want to get it easily, easily, all for free, all for free
Everyone believes now that they deserve to get it
In the world of greed now it's gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, no spirituality
Just gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Lost spirituality, woe-- woe
Sing a rich man's spiritual, sing that rich man's spiritual
Then send your money here, send your money here
We'll pray for you, you can have heaven too
You can see us on the TV, you can see us on the TV
You can see us on the TV
We're just like you, and we need money too
We have three or four cars, wear latest label clothes
We'll make our heaven here
We buy what we need and do what we please
That's a rich man's creed
Misery's got a hold of me. Misery's got a hold of me
Escape watching TV, all the beautiful people there
Escape watching TV, look what you're missing
We are all heroes now, nobody reads
Commonality rules the world, so have mercy on me
Illiterates abound, so have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy on me
Sing a rich man's spiritual, they sing a rich man's spiritual
Sing a rich man's spiritual, woe—woe—woe
