about

Contrary to the title of this song, all members of the Big Friendly Corporation would LOVE to be rich!

lyrics

Your factories had a tendency
To kill everyone working inside
You would settle out of court inexpensively
Long after everyone died

You built an empire on greed and malice
Corruption and murderous lies
Now your next of kin count up your estate
Feigning care as they say their goodbyes
But so I don’t seem insensitive or malicious
I want you to know
I’ve always thought it a crying shame
You can’t take it with you when you go

Well, I’ve always thought wealth appropriate payment for lessons you refuse to learn
And I can’t see why any saint should mind if you’re still filthy rich when you burn

I think it funny for all your money
You can’t lengthen one of your days
The most expensive machines and medicines
Only leave you in a haze
But so I don’t seem insensitive or malicious
I want you to know
I’ve always thought it a crying shame
You can’t take it with you when you go

Well, I’ve always thought wealth appropriate payment for lessons you refuse to learn
And I can’t see why any saint should mind if you’re still filthy rich when you burn
I don’t want to be rich
The damned will all be able to see that you were once a person of worth
And they’ll recognize you as one of the bastards who caused most of their pain on Earth

I don’t want to be rich
