作者和演唱者是Oliver Anthony一直贫困潦倒,和老婆及三个孩子住在汽车房里。现在这首歌让他爆粉。应该翻身了吧。

他其他的歌好像风格类似。属于美国愤青吧。

 "Rich Men North of Richmond,” 

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day

Overtime hours for bullsh– pay

So I can sit out here and waste my life away

 

Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to

For people like me and people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is, oh, it is

 

Livin’ in the new world

With an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond

Lord knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do

‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh– and it’s taxed to no end

‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

 

I wish politicians would look out for miners

And not just minors on an island somewhere

Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat

And the obese milkin’ welfare

 

God, if you’re 5 foot 3 and you’re 300 pounds

Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds

Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground

‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

 

Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to

For people like me and people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world

With an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond

Lord knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do

‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh– and it’s taxed to no end

‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

 

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day

Overtime hours for bullsh– pay
