Men of Good Fortune — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often cant do anything at all



The rich son waits for his father to die

The poor just drink and cry

And me, I just dont care at all



Men of good fortune

Very often cant do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

Often can do anything



At heart they try to act like a man

Handle things the best way they can

They have no rich, daddy to fall back on



Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often cant do anything at all



It takes money to make money they say

Look at the fords, but didnt they start that way

Anyway, it makes no difference to me



Men of good fortune

Often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

Want what they have and to get it theyll die



All those great things that live has to give

They wanna have money and live

But me, I just dont care at all



Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings
