[Verse 1] The moon is hanging In the purple sky Baby's sleeping While its mother sighs Talking 'bout the rich folks Rich folks have the same jokes And they park in basic places The priest is preaching From a shallow grave He counts his money Then he paints you saved Talking to the young folks Young folks share the same jokes But they meet in...Learn More
