1
They say that Richard Cory
2
Owns one-half of this here town
3
With political conections
4
To spread his wealth around
5
Born into society, a bankers only child
6
He had everything a man could want
7
Power, grace and style
8
But, I work in his factory
9
And I curse the life I'm livin'
10
And I curse my poverty
11
And I wish that I could be
12
Yeah, I wish that I could be
13
Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory

Paper's print his pictures
15
Almost everywhere he go
16
Richard Cory at the opera
17
Richard Cory at the show
18
And the rumours of his a-parties
19
And orgies on his yacht
20
Heart and soul he must be happy
21
With everything that he has got
22
But, I work in his factory
23
And I curse the life I'm livin'
24
And I curse my poverty

He freely gave to charity
29
And had that common touch
30
They were grateful for his patronage
31
And thanked him very much
32
So my mind was filled with wonder
33
When the evenin' headlines read
34
That "Richard Cory went home last night
35
And put a bullet through his head"
36
But I, I, I, work in his factory
37
And I, I don't dig the life I'm livin'
38
And I don't dig my poverty
39
And I wish that I could be
40
Yeah, hey, I wish that I could be
41
Well, I wish that I could be Richard Cory
42
Yeah, I wish that I could be

Sometime, I wish that I coud be
