Rich Girl
Everclear · The Vegas Years [2008]
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You got money but it won't get you too far
Don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given
You, so far gone on your own, yeah, you can get along
When you try to be strong you can never be strong
You're a rich girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You got money but it won't get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
It seems so easy to get hurt, that's when you can't feel pain
Don't you know that a love just can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give
When you'd rather live for the thrill of it all
You're a rich girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You got money but it won't get you too far
You got money but it won't get you too far
You got money but it won't get you too far
You got money but it won't get you too far
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl, you're a rich girl
