Story behind the song
Rich People (DeTrolio) Their fuckin’ rock stars, they get ta break laws Their bucket list it shits all over ours With just a phone call, they'll make the stocks fall Their bank account’s a Napalm Fireball Who Hates Rich People? You Hate Rich People I Hate Rich People… Because We Wanna Be One Our streets & buildings, we give ‘em their names We throw parades for every mental case They buy the campaigns, they run the cocaine ‘The World Is Yours’ is on their aero-planes (repeat chorus) How Do They Hold It All For Ransom? What Do We Gotta Do Ta Get Some? They’ll never share it, and when they are dead We’re gonna watch their kids inherit it We’re just the puppets, we bitch about it And that’s as close as dreamers ever get I said… (repeat chorus)
