Richard Cory

[Verse 1]

They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town

With connecting codes, connections to stretch his wealth around

Born into society, a banker's only child

He has everything a man could want, power, grace and style

[Chorus]

But I, I work in his factory

And I curse the life I'm living

And I curse my poverty

And I wish that I could be

How I wish that I could be

How I wish that I could be Richard Cory

[Verse 2]

The peoples paint his pictures almost everywhere I go

Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show

And the rumors of his party, and the rumors of his yacht

Oh, he surely must be happy a with everything he's got

[Chorus]

But I, I work in his factory

And I curse the life I'm living

And I curse my poverty

And I wish that I could be

How I wish that I could be

How I wish that I could be Richard Cory

[Outro]

Oh, I wish, I wish I could be

I want to be loved
