For The Rich Man (Chris Hillman/Steve Hill)


Run in the night, hide in the shadows
Make a new life, escape from the battle
Is it justice they seek that we all take for granted
A fair shape in a world so slanted towards the rich man

From the jungles and the towns south of the border
Treated like dogs in the name of law and order
Their prayers ever heard is their pain ever felt
No answers to be found, is there anyone around except the rich man

Oh my loved ones, don't be cheated
Take your children, don't be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much to gain

Children are hungry their leaders are blind
Color of money makes a man find
The way to exist in a world gone crazy
A way to survive in the battle he wages with the rich man

Oh my loved ones, don't be cheated
Take your children, don't be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much to gain

SOLO

Oh my loved ones, don't be cheated
Take your children, don't be defeated
All alone in a world so strange
So much to lose, so much 
So much to lose, so much
So much to lose, so much to gain
