'Rich Man's World' is a thought-provoking song that explores the stark reality of wealth inequality and the power dynamics in society. It delves into the struggles faced by everyday people against the backdrop of a world dominated by the affluent elite. Through poignant lyrics and a compelling melody, the song captures the frustration and disillusionment felt by those left behind in the pursuit of prosperity.
(Verse 1)
In a tower of glass and steel,
They sit high, never feel,
The weight of the world beneath their feet,
While we struggle just to make ends meet.
(Chorus)
It's a rich man's world, made of gold,
Where the stories of the poor go untold,
They play their games, with lives in their hands,
While the rest of us drown in sinking sands.
(Verse 2)
They smile wide from their ivory towers,
Counting money as the clock ticks hours,
With a silver spoon, they never know,
The bitter taste of the valley below.
(Chorus)
It's a rich man's world, made of gold,
Where the stories of the poor go untold,
They play their games, with lives in their hands,
While the rest of us drown in sinking sands.
(Bridge)
But we rise up, through the pain,
Voices echo, we’ll break the chain,
No more silence, we’ll take our stand,
Together united, we’ll make our demands.
(Chorus)
In a rich man's world, it’ll be clear,
That justice is worth more than money and fear,
They can’t keep us down, we’ve got our dreams,
In the light of truth, we’ll find our means.
(Outro)
So let the bells ring, let the world see,
The strength in numbers, we’ll all be free,
In this rich man’s world, we’ll find our place,
Through unity, we’ll win the race.
