Lyrics

Poor Richard he's all around town
He's gettin' back up, he's fallin' back down
Poor Richard he's lost in the crowd
He's always being followed by a big dark cloud
Poor Richard, struggle and strife
Can’t be tied down to a hum-drum life
Poor Richard, he’s at his wit’s end
It seems he’s got too much money to spend

Sometimes he’s smilin’, sometimes he’s wearin’ a frown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes he’s the jester, sometimes he’s wearin’ the crown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Livin’ the good life, or wakin’ up inside of a cell
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes you can’t tell the difference ‘tween Heaven and Hell

Poor Richard thinks it’s always the same
Till he finds himself playin' a dangerous game
Poor Richard he’s shown up late
But he knows good things come to those who wait
Poor Richard cries to Heaven above
He's tired of waitin' gonna find somebody to love
Poor Richard wasn’t in on the joke
Didn't know the punch line so his heart got broke

Sometimes he’s smilin’, sometimes he’s wearin’ a frown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes he’s the jester, sometimes he’s wearin’ the crown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Livin’ the good life, or wakin’ up inside of a cell
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes you can’t tell the difference ‘tween Heaven and Hell

Poor Richard don’t know where he’s been
Gotta get back up and start all over again
Poor Richard his mind's in a haze
Livin’ for the night, losin’ track of the days
Poor Richard was on top of the game
But the years went by just as fast as they came
Poor Richard that’s the way that it goes
You can’t always come out smellin’ like a rose

Sometimes he’s smilin’, sometimes he’s wearin’ a frown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes he’s the jester, sometimes he’s wearin’ the crown
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Livin’ the good life, or wakin’ up inside of a cell
Poor Richard, Poor Poor Richard
Sometimes you can’t tell the difference ‘tween Heaven and Hell
