RICHARD
10 seconds
They say that
Richard Cory owns

one half of this
whole town
With political
connecHons

to 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 living
and l curse my poverty
And I wish
that I could be

oh I wish
that I could he
Oh I wish

that I could he
Richard Cory
The papers
print his picture

almost everywhere
he goes
Richard Cory
at the opera

Richard Cory
at a show
And the rumour
of his parties

and the orgies
on his yacht!
on he surely

must be happy
with everything he's got
But I...

work in his factory
And I curse the life

I'm living
and l curse my poverty
And I wish
that I could be

oh I wish
that I could he
Oh I wish

that I could he
Richard Cory
He freely
gave to charity

he had the
common touch
And they were grateful
for his patronage

and they thanked him
very much
So my mind was
filled with wonder

when the evening
headHnesread
Richard Cory
went home last night

and put a bullet
through his head
But I...

work in his factory
And I curse the life

I'm living
and l curse my poverty
And I wish
that I could be

oh I wish
that I could he
Oh I wish

that I could he....
