TV Smith - Immortal Rich Lyrics
I ate a suicide breakfast and I still feel sickI've got a half life here and I'm stuck with itBut I count my blessings and say my prayersBecause half the world's hungry and most of it's scaredAnd it's a cruel law, but the cat gets the creamCash buys the diet fit for a kingWhile the lion goes to the water-holeWe must sit and waitBut any day now we may scratch that itchAnd join the immortal richThey've got a drive-in Jesus to purge their sinsRoll up to the gates of heaven and still get inWell, a big donation ain't gonna hurtAnd you get your name on the T.V. churchMeanwhile down here we've lost our faithLook to the heavens and just see rainCan't meet the subscription on the pay-to-praySo we don't even watchBut any day now we may scratch that itchAnd join the immortal richAnd any day now we may make that switchAnd join the immortal richDeath by a thousand cutsJack up the prices so they costJust that much more than we can ever affordClean up in the hospitalClose down all the wardsAnd it's a cruel law, but the cat gets the creamCash buys the lifestyle fit for a kingWhile the big cars ease into the fast laneWe come to a stopBut any day now we may scratch that itchAnd join the immortal richAnd any day now we may find our pitchAnd join the immortal richAny day now we may scratch that itchAnd join the immortal richAny day now we may make that switchArid join the immortal rich
