THE BENTILEAN Goes Heavy Metal

with lyrics by Worzel



Poor Little Rich Boy

So You Say You Know How It Feels
To Be A Down And Out
You Say You Can Imagine
But You Don't Know About

The Feelings Of Depression
When There's Nothing You Can Do
The Finger Of Oppression
Pointing Right At You

You Laugh Because I Can't Afford
The Things You Do Or Wear
You Tell Me That You're Sorry
But I Know That You Don't Care

You've Never Worked That Hard
But You've Never Been Broke
Never Watched Your Ambitions
Go Up In Smoke

You've Never Felt Bad
Or Wanted To Die
You've Never Needed A Shoulder
You've Never Needed To Cry

'Cause You're A

Poor Little Rich Boy, You've Never Known Life
Poor Little Rich Boy, No Trouble, No Strife
Poor Little Rich Boy, You Stand All Alone
Poor Little Rich Boy, Your Heart's Turned To Stone

Worzel is the pen name of a one-time student of the one-time Willfield Open Learning Centre, Bentilee. An avid writer, he had penned a staggering 175 lyrics, mostly Heavy Metal, when the three included here were first published.
