Stories told of how the great

Took a chance to dominate

A bullet through the heart assured



As they turned and walked away

Ideology remains

Can't sister morphine dance no more



But I know

They're laying down their lives on a mirror

Gotta know, got to know

Just how long

They'll hang on



The rich don't rock

Rich don't rock



Oh, my generations got a critical case of going

No place

Cause I'm sick of the future being carried away

Packed in a briefcase



Might say burned or faded away

Cause I won't wait another day



The rich don't rock

Rich don't rock
