Richard Cory

Lyrics

[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
