Did you ever just want to lay down
Tell the world youve had enough
Did you ever just want to drop out
When the goin got a little bit rough
Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry
Have you ever really had the blues
So now you want to see how the other half live
Well brother whatcha got to lose
Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home
And you never think of ever goin back
Your fathers makin money for the good of the country
And your mamas out bettin at the track
Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah
And now you gonna to let hair grow long
Get a little pad uptown
Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards
And use your wits to get around
And you think its gonna make you happy
See your story in the evening news
And you know its just a game of tryin to point the blame
Brother whatcha got to lose
Chorus:
Hey lonely rockefeller square
The underground world dont fit a millionaire
Hey rocky whatcha gonna do
First time youve ever had the pressure on you
But rock when the rockin and the bummin is through
Therell still be piece of daddys kingdom for you
Now rocky you sure hurt your mama
And your daddy got an ulcer for a year
With the stock market shot and the wars still hot
It sure was a cruel thing to do
So dont cry boy
Chorus:
Hey lonely rockefeller square
The underground life dont fit a millionaire
Hey rocky whatcha gonna do
First time youve ever had the pressure on you
But rock when the rockin and the bummin is through
Therell still be piece of daddys kingdom for you
Money to pay, money today
Dont you go gay
Rocky better pray
Money today, money to pay
Dont you go gay
Rocky better pray
Money today, money to pay
Dont you go gay
Rocky better pray
Money today, money to pay
Dont you go gay...
