Richard Cory

Paul Simon

[Verse 1]
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
With connecting codes, connections to stretch his wealth around
Born into society, a banker's only child
He has everything a man could want, power, grace and style

[Chorus]
But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
How I wish that I could be
How I wish that I could be Richard Cory

[Verse 2]
The peoples paint his pictures almost everywhere I go
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
And the rumors of his party, and the rumors of his yacht
Oh, he surely must be happy a with everything he's got

[Chorus]
But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
How I wish that I could be
How I wish that I could be Richard Cory

[Outro]
Oh, I wish, I wish I could be
I want to be loved
