Lyrics:

Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can't do anything at all


The rich son waits for his father to die

The poor just drink and cry

And me, I just don't care at all


Men of good fortune

Very often can't do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

Often can do anything


At heart they try to act like a man

Handle things the best way they can

They have no rich, daddy to fall back on


Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can't do anything at all


It takes money to make money they say

Look at the fords, but didn't they start that way

Anyway, it makes no difference to me


Men of good fortune

Often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

Want what they have and to get it they'll die


All those great things that live has to give

They wanna have money and live

But me, I just don't care at all


Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings
