Oh, I am a rich man
And I drive a Cadillac
I buy everything I want
I sell bullets to the soldiers
Oh, I am a poor man
I don't drive a Cadillac
Can't buy everything I want
They want me to be a soldier
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Oh, I am a rich man
And I drive a Cadillac
I buy everything I want
I sell bullets to the soldiers
Oh, I am a poor man
I don't drive a Cadillac
Can't buy everything I want
They want me to be a soldier
Oh, I am a rich man's son
I don't need a Cadillac
I would stand there watching soldiers
I was murdered by ricochet
And I drive a Cadillac
I buy everything I want
I sell bullets to the soldiers
Oh, I am a poor man
I don't drive a Cadillac
Can't buy everything I want
They want me to be a soldier
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Rich man wins
Poor man pays
Oh, I am a rich man
And I drive a Cadillac
I buy everything I want
I sell bullets to the soldiers
Oh, I am a poor man
I don't drive a Cadillac
Can't buy everything I want
They want me to be a soldier
Oh, I am a rich man's son
I don't need a Cadillac
I would stand there watching soldiers
I was murdered by ricochet
