The wealthy ones like you look down
On the common folk like me
Makin' bets to what degree of fool we are
Through your rose-coloured windows
You see yourself above us
Standin' in the mud and gazin' at the stars
But the rich and poor have in common
The common cold, the heartburn and the heartache
Put our pants on just the same
Your worth don't make you better, babe
'Cause I can tread water, babe
As long as you think you make it rain
While you got your raisin', girl
And your diamond-studded world
I got pulled up on the hungry side o' town
I cut my teeth on bacon rind
There ain't no hide as tough as mine
But it might be fun awhile to be your clown
So, get your whip and do your thing
And I'll run around the ring
Ride my white horse, wear my armour too
On the common folk like me
