Corey Taylor
The Rich Man (Live at the Nokia Theatre, New York, NY, 12/15/2005)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Somehow, I think I'm goin' home
Even though my friends can't reach me
I don't know how I ended up alone
All I know is you can't save me

They only asked us to believe
They only wanted us to follow
I think I'm old enough to see
I think I'm goin' home tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in

[Chorus]
Sinners and hypocrites
Burning in the desert for a rich man
Liars and lunatics
Lead us to the slaughter for our last stand

Killers and idiots
Dying in the desert for a rich man
Sinners and hypocrites
Gather us together for the master plan
[Post-Chorus]
Ah
Ah-ah

[Verse 2]
I didn't bothеr with my faith
How will my family recognize me?
Somеhow, I think I'm goin' home
But I just don't comprehend it

[Bridge]
I know I don't wanna die
But I know dying will not end it

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in

[Chorus]
Sinners and hypocrites
Burning in the desert for a rich man
Liars and lunatics
Lead us to the slaughter for our last stand

Killers and idiots
Dying in the desert for a rich man
Sinners and hypocrites
Gather us together for the bastard
[Bridge]
I know the truth is all a lie
My skin is cracking on my lips
I don't pretend that I can understand why we are doing this

My heart has bled a thousand times
How will I live with what we've done?
The only comfort is the knowledge that I'm not the only one
Yeah

[Outro]
Why am I here?
What did I do?

Oh-oh
Oh
Oh-oh
Oh
Oh-oh

[Spoken Word Outro: Robb Flynn & Corey Taylor]
Hey
Sup, fuckers?
Aw
We're gonna do, uh– We're gonna do a song for you here we've never played this live
First time we're ever gonna try it
We may fuck it up
Uh, did a record called Roadrunner United
Ho-Jo
