Paul McCartney & Wings - Richard Cory (Live) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
With political connections to spread his wealth around
He was born into society, a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style

[Chorus]
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
Oh, I wish that I could be [x2]
Richard Cory

[Verse 2]
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head

[Outro]
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
Oh, I wish that I could be [x2]
Richard Cory
