{Words & Music: Lou Reed}

|
Men of good fortune
|
Often cause empires to fall
|
While men of poor beginnings
|
Often can't do anything at all
|
The rich son waits for his father to die
|
While the poor just sit there and cry
|
And me ... ah ...
|
I just don't care at all
|
|
Men of good fortune
|
Very often can't do a thing
|
While men of poor beginnings
|
Often can't do anything
|
At heart they try to act like a man
|
Handle things the best way they can
|
They have no rich daddy to fall back on
|
|
Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings
|
Men of good fortune
|
Men of poor beginnings
|
|
Men of good fortune
|
Often cause empires to fall
|
While men of poor beginnings
|
Often can't do anything at all
|
It takes money to make money they say
|
But look at the Fords, hey didn't they start that way
|
Anyway ... ha ...
|
It makes no difference to me
|
|
Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings [Repeat to Fade]
