Rich Man's Politics Lyrics

I don't want no tax revisions
And I don't want no raise incentives
It's too bad that black and poor is a crime
But it's time for the American dream to die

Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha

There's a street in every town
Where poor man beg
And rich man frown
They says 'get a job, a suit, and a tie'
The poor man says 'Jesus Christ I tried'

Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha

Said there'd be a judgement die
Well they were half right
There will be a day of reckoning
When the working class unite to fight

Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha
Rich man's politics pf poverty, ha ha ha

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
