Am 
There's a rich boy 
C 
But he doesn't spend 
F    E 
He just drinks his Poland Spring 
       Am                C 
He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend 
      F             E 
Or at home alone reading 


       Dm       E 
And he tries to do good 
       F  E 
And he tries to do riiii-eeeght 
      Dm               E 
So he does what he should 
         F                  G 
But he's got to subscriiiii-ieebe 
       Dm           E 
To the rules of the tribe

    And you're bustin' the beguine 
          F                    E 
Everybody knows you're no beginner 
           Dm            E 
But ah the bums say oooo-oh 
F        G#
Things ain't what they seem 


              Am                    C 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F                     E 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
             Am                      C 
You got your east side certified pedigree 
F                         E 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


  Dm        E 
Because I warned youuuuu 
   F      E 
They would scorn yoouuuu 
Dm          E
But you never did a thing 



Am[silence]   Am
     When you go in for the kill 
  F                  E 
Everybody wants to make it happen 
Am[silence]   Am
     And you make a hundred mil 
  F                     E 
Everybody wants to scratch your back then 
    Dm                    E 
But ah the freaks say ooo-oh 
F                      G#
Things ain't what they seem 



              Am                    C 
You're the respectable member of society 
        F                     E 
But you don't have nothin' on me 
   Am                         C 
You gotcha uppercrust dinner tux sanctimony
 F                         E 
But you won't have nothin' you'll see 


  Dm     E 
Because I told yooouuu 
           F     E 
They would mold yooouu
        Dm    E 
But you never did a thing
