Rich Kid Blues

Marianne Faithfull · True [2000]

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues

Got shoes and money, good friends too

I always play to win and always seem to lose

That's why I think, I got a rich kid's blues

That's why I think, I got a rich kid's blues



And I know what's going on

And I know that the way is too long

And I know just exactly what's on your mind

You'll be back and I'll lose you forever



But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name

All the people standing by are they in my game?

Love is just a story, a story without words

Words are even never seen and never even heard



And I know what's going on

And I know that the way is too long

And I know just exactly what's on your mind

You'll be back and I'll lose you forever



Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues

Got shoes and money, good friends too

I always play to win, always seem to lose

That's why I think, I got a rich kid's blues

That's why I think, I got a rich kid's blues
