Rich Man's Fable

You're a protégé of a rich man's fable

Laughing, smoking, swagging in drink

He comes from work each day so tired

Bringing you news from the missing link

And the man in the suit has no news for you tonight

You guard his riches from dawn to dusk

Keeping a sandwich from the new day rush

You wonder what it's worth, it takes all night

Biting your dreams while you're uptight

And the man in the suit has no news for you tonight

So you made a pattern of a fairy tale

You're selling the truth but it's not for sale

No one believes what you have to say

He's onto you now, you'd better pray

And the man in the suit has some news for you tonight
