Artist/Band: Lou Reed
Lyrics for Song: Men of good fortune
Lyrics for Album: Perfect Day [1998]



Men of good fortune

often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

often can't do anything at all



The rich son waits for his father to die

the poor just drink and cry

And me, I just don't care at all



Men of good fortune

very often can't do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

often can do anything



At heart they try to act like a man

handle things the best way they can

They have no rich, daddy to fall back on



Men of good fortune

often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

often can't do anything at all



It takes money to make money they say

look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way

Anyway, it makes no difference to me



Men of good fortune

often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

want what they have and to get it they'll die



All those great things that life has to give

they wanna have money and live

But me, I just don't care at all



Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings



men of poor beginnings

...
