Cover art for Richard Cory lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

I love this song! This song, I believe is about jealousy. This guy, who was born rich, hates his life. Everyone follows him around & he gives to charity, He doesn't love the money or the "orgies on his yacht." This guy, who doesn't have a lot of money, is jealous. This leads to how people think there's hapiness with only money. There's more to life than that.
