[Verse]
You walk in with your tailored grin
A silk tie that hides the sin
You talk of wealth like it's your crown
But who's the king when no one's around
[Verse 2]
Your words drip gold but sound so thin
A hollow echo beneath your skin
You brag of riches we can't see
But paper castles burn so easily
[Chorus]
Oh you’re the wealthy scoundrel
Aren’t you proud
Shouting your name to a silent crowd
You bought the world but lost the spark
Rich in the day
Poor in the dark
[Verse 3]
You toss out coins like they’re a joke
A puff of smoke with every poke
You think you’re better
Above the grind
But real treasure’s what you leave behind
[Bridge]
The workers whisper
The scoundrel’s tale
A mighty yacht with a tattered sail
They laugh in shadows
Their hands worn bare
For your kingdom crumbles and they don’t care
[Chorus]
Oh you’re the wealthy scoundrel
Aren’t you proud
Shouting your name to a silent crowd
You bought the world but lost the spark
Rich in the day
Poor in the dark [Chorus]
Oh you’re the wealthy scoundrel
Aren’t you proud
Shouting your name to a silent crowd
You bought the world but lost the spark
Rich in the day
Poor in the dark |
