about

Externalizational realization.

lyrics

They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town...
With political connections to spread his wealth around
Born into society a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want
Power Grace and Style
But I work in this factory
and I curse the life I'm living and I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
Richard Cory at the opera
Richard Cory at the show!
And the rumors of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Well he surely must be happy with everything he's got...
He really gave to charity he had the common touch
And they were thankful for his patronage
They liked him very much
So my mind it filled with wonder as the evening headlines read...
RICHARD CORY CAME HOME LAST NIGHT AND PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD
But 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 Richard Cory
