Richard Cory Lyrics - Them

They say that Richard Cory 

Owns one-half of this here town 

With political connections 

Spread his wealth around 

Born into society, a banker's only child 

He had everything a man could want 

Power, grace and style 

But I, work in his factory 

And I curse the life I'm livin' 

And I curse my poverty 

That I wish that I could be 

Yeah, I wish that I could be 

Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory

Paper's print his pictures 

Almost everywhere he go 

Richard Cory at the opera 

Richard Cory at the show 

And the rumours of his a-parties 

And the orgies on his yacht 

Well, he surely must be happy 

With everythang that he has got 

But I, work in his factory 

And I curse the life I'm livin' 

And I curse my poverty 

And I wish that I could be 

I wish that I could be, yea-ah 

I wish that I could be, Richard Cory 

He freely gave to charity 

And had that common touch 

They were grateful for his patronage 

And thanked him very much 

So my mind was filled with wonder 

When the evenin' headlines read 

That Richard Cory went home last night 

And put a bullet through his head, hu 

But I, I, I, work in his factory 

And I, I don't don't dig the life I'm livin' 

And I don't dig my poverty 

And I wish that I could be 

Yeah, an' I wish that I could be 

Well, wish that I could be, Richard Cory 

Ay-hey, I wish that I could be 

I wish that I could be 

Sometime, I wish that I could be 

A-just like a-Richard Cory 

Just li-iiiiiiike, a-Richard Cory 

A-Richard Cory 

FADES 

A-Richard Cory 

Just like Richard Cory
