    Lyrics »

How does it feel to be
Sittin' in luxury's lap
Where the money trees grow
And the champagne is always on tap
How does it feel to be breathing
That rarefied air
Way up at the level where only
The devil may care

Where those who have and
Those who have so much
Are all standing in line to meet
The man with the Midas touch
From the bottom of the valley
They run to the top of the heap
With lots of bourbon ond valium
To put the sad winners to sleep

Oh those poor rich people
They have found a reason for
Every thing they do
Oh those poor rich people
All the green that makes them blue

So they juggle the books and
Redistribute the wealth
But all the juggling is
Hazardous to your health
When the ashtrays are full
We'll sell the car for scrap
It's one more tax shelter in
Downtown luxury's lap
