Mister Rich Man, Rich Man Open up your heart and mind Mister Rich Man, Rich Man Open up your heart and mind Give the poor man a chance Help stop these hard, hard time While you livin' in your mansion You don't know what hard time means While you livin' in your mansion You don't know what hard time means Oh, workin' man's wife is starvin' Your wife is livin' like a queen Please, listen to my pleadin' 'Cause I can't stand these hard time long Oh, listen to my pleadin' Can't stand these hard time long They'll make an honest man do things That you know is wrong All man fought all the battles All man would fight again today All man fought all the battles All man would fight again today He would do anything you ask him In the name of the U.S.A Now the war is over All man must live the same as you Now the war is over All man must live the same as you If it wasn't for the poor man Mister Rich Man what would you do?
