A) Rich men in a darkened room
Making plans to fuel the corporate boom
Flowers of evil begin to bloom in a rich man’s world
They’ll dam the rivers and cut the trees
Drag the fish out of the seas
Drill for oil wherever they please, in a rich man’s world
B) It’s not for the money, not the fame
They want the power, the rush of the game rich man’s world
C) Power is the key to the game
Power is the lock and the chain
Power is the heat of a flame that destroys in a rich man’s world
A) They’d like to make a better bomb
Than the ones we used in Vietnam
They make good money selling arms in a rich man’s world
Poison pours from the factories
Into the water, out on the breeze
And if they bring this planet to its knees
It’s not a garden to tend, it’s a sponge to squeeze in a rich man’s world
