Men Of Good Fortune

JOSEPH ARTHUR · Lou 2014 · Track 10 of 12

Written by 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 The poor just drink and cry And me, 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 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 Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way Anyway, it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune Often wish that they could die While men of poor beginnings Want what they have and to get it they'll die

All those great things that live has to give They wanna have money and live But me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings
