Rich is a human made word trying to describe the feeling you have just before you go to sleep after a long day knowing you did the best you could perform that day. No amount of money can make me feel like that. I am rich when my wife smile to me. Poor when she is not. Don't ad to the competition. They have a race going on not even knowing what or where the goal is.
I watched the movie "Searching for Sugar Man" and seen him in an interview about a month ago as they were telling his amazing story. This man's music changed a nation...and he never knew that at the time....a gentle soul poet songwriter....I pray you receive blessing upon blessing now that you have been found...Is there going to be a new album recorded? That would be fantastic!.....one of the most interesting documentaries I've watched ever....Searching for Sugarman.
The moon is hanging in the purple sky
The baby's sleeping while its mother sighs
Talking 'bout the rich folks
Rich folks have the same jokes
And they park in basic places.
The priest is preaching from a shallow grave
He counts his money, then he paints you saved
Talking to the young folks
Young folks share the same jokes
But they meet in older places.
So don't tell me about your success
Nor your recipes for my happiness
Smoke in bed
I never could digest
Those illusions you claim to have going.
The sun is shining, as it's always done
Coffin dust is the fate of everyone
Talking 'bout the rich folks
The poor create the rich hoax
And only late breast-fed fools believe it.
So don't tell me about your success
Nor your recipes for my happiness
Smoke in bed
I never could digest
Those illusions you claim to have going.
I'm tasting this track, feeling like I can scream with joy. When was the last time I enjoyed listening to music that much? Oh God, such a perfect mixture of incredible voice, lyrics and instrumental arrangement - great in its simplicity. III'm FEEELING it!
With all due respect (and I think he's great),
he is just telling the truth as it has been said over and over again for thousands of years (since before Jesus though he was in on it) by visionaries, artists,
poets, saints--his view is nothing new, it's just outlawed in the US of A.
And that is the truth.
'So don't tell me about your success nor your recipes for my happiness'.....You have nailed it Rodrigues - Rich people like to brag about how great they are and how everybody else should run their lives.....Thank you Rodrigues master poet!!!
