Word Cover Up
The rich die from accidental overdose
The poor, a drive-by shooting in the head
The rich partying till three a.m.
the poor just lying in the ditch
The rich have Hacienda retreats to recover
the poor walk to their AA clubs to meet
The rich eat hamburgs while drunk, and being filmed
the poor pick from dumpsters, leftover's of the rich
the rich have expensive lawyers
to buy their way out of trouble
the poor thrown in jail
adding to their struggles.
Ain't life a bitch!
Status and money cover
blemishes of the rich!
