Immortal Rich

I ate a suicide breakfast and I still feel sick

I've got a half life here and I'm stuck with it

But I count my blessings and say my prayers

Because half the world's hungry and most of it's scared

And it's a cruel law, but the cat gets the cream

Cash buys the diet fit for a king

While the lion goes to the water-hole

We must sit and wait

But any day now we may scratch that itch

And join the immortal rich

They've got a drive-in Jesus to purge their sins

Roll up to the gates of heaven and still get in

Well, a big donation ain't gonna hurt

And you get your name on the T.V. church

Meanwhile down here we've lost our faith

Look to the heavens and just see rain

Can't meet the subscription on the pay-to-pray

So we don't even watch

But any day now we may scratch that itch

And join the immortal rich

And any day now we may make that switch

And join the immortal rich

Death by a thousand cuts

Jack up the prices so they cost

Just that much more than we can ever afford

Clean up in the hospital

Close down all the wards

And it's a cruel law, but the cat gets the cream

Cash buys the lifestyle fit for a king

While the big cars ease into the fast lane

We come to a stop

But any day now we may scratch that itch

And join the immortal rich

And any day now we may find our pitch

And join the immortal rich

Any day now we may scratch that itch

And join the immortal rich

Any day now we may make that switch

Arid join the immortal rich
