the happy face riot - the riches game lyrics
h+llo sir
please put your seat belt on
it’s a long way from l.a
downtown south is planked in lungs
of artificial air and suitcase plays
train tickets nowadays
cost more than just a dime
too bad the old man
sitting by the poor man
lost his mind
why you running, boy
don’t you know that going forward
takes you two steps back
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
(they couldn’t make it in the riches game
they couldn’t make it on an honest dream)
i’ve seen you once before
on a blue+tinted bus full of misfits
over there, a hatted lad
telling tales of when he sold his soul
to make a profit
trust your last nickel
to turn lead into gold
turn around, boy
listen to the sound, boy
this is your new home
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
ah+ah+ah+ah+ah
they couldn’t make it in the riches game
they couldn’t make it on an honest dream
they couldn’t stand a life without the fame
they couldn’t stand to take a little pain
and they don’t want sympathy
th+ th+ they want some money
all the boys and all the girls
were never meant to change the world
so get back now
and fight your demons
change the world
they couldn’t make it in the riches game
they couldn’t make it on an honest dream
they couldn’t make it in the riches game
they couldn’t make it on an honest dream
