Burn Baby Burn – Daniel Johnston – letras

A rich man and a poor man stood face to facethe poor man said to the rich man can I have a piece of cakeThe rich man just laughed and threw his dog the crumbsand the poor man stood hungry as the rich man’s dog ateThe rich man died and went to helland the poor man died and went to heavenAnd the rich man cried a night in paincan I have a drink of water I’m going in an everlasting plainThe poor man stood ashore and sighedthere was no way to get to the other sideThe rich man bit his lip and criedhe said I wish my soul could dieWell the rich man’s dog died and went to heavenbecause he was just a stupid animal he didn’t know wrong from righthe was just a stupid animalWell the poor man and the rich man’s dog sat eating cakewith chocolate ice cream and soilent stakeAnd the rich man said for heaven’s sakeand his skin burned in a fire lakeThe rich man said maybe I was wrongI guess I was just a low life scumAnd I’ll suffer now for evermoreand my suffering will never be doneI wish I had been a better manhe sat wishingand he burned and he burned and he burnedand he wished he had been a better man
