Rich Folks Hoax - Rodriguez

[Verse] (D#m D#m G#m Bb x2) - Bb

         G#m Bb D#m D#m     - G#m (Bb) D#m D#m

The moon is hanging - In the purple sky

Baby's sleeping - While its mother sighs

Talking 'bout the rich folks

Rich folks have the same jokes

And they park in basic places - …

The priest is preaching

From a shallow grave       [Intro] D#m D#m

He counts his money                D#m D#m

Then he paints you saved

Talking to the young folks       [Cho-

Young folks share the same jokes    rus]

But they meet in older places      G#m Bb

                                   D#m D#m

So don't - Tell me about your success

Nor your recipes - For my happiness

Smoke in bed     - I never could digest

Those illusions

You claim to have going          [Verse]

                                 (Bb Bb)

The sun is shining - As it's always done

Carbon dust is the fate - Of everyone

Talking 'bout the rich folks

The poor create the rich hoax   [Chorus]

And only late breastfed fools   [Solo

Believe it                       Chorus]
