Rich Folks Hoax - Rodriguez

[Verse] (Bbm Bbm D#m F x2) - F

         D#m F Bbm Bbm     - D#m (F) Bbm Bbm

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] Bbm Bbm

He counts his money                Bbm Bbm

Then he paints you saved

Talking to the young folks       [Cho-

Young folks share the same jokes    rus]

But they meet in older places      D#m F

                                   Bbm Bbm

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]

                                 (F F)

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]
