[Verse 1]
She said
If you wanna see the soul
Don’t stare at the gold in his hand
Watch the tremble when the deal goes wrong
Watch the way he tries to stand
If you wanna see the soul
Boy
You don’t need a sermon or a crown
Just the way a quiet woman
Holds her ground when the world breaks down
[Chorus]
Rich man’s weakness
Poor man’s strength
They both fall on the same cold ground
When they fly
At any height
They both touch the same sky somehow
Same cold ground
Same wide sky
Tell me
Who’s looking who in the eye?
Rich man’s weakness
Poor man’s strength
Same cold ground
Same sky
[Verse 2]
Saw a suit counting losses
In the bathroom
On the phone
Saw a kid leave his last dollar
On the counter for a ride back home
One’s got diamonds on his cuffs
One’s got dirt on his hands
But they both close their eyes at night
To a world they don’t understand
[Chorus]
Rich man’s weakness
Poor man’s strength
They both fall on the same cold ground
When they fly
At any height
They both touch the same sky somehow
Same cold ground
Same wide sky
Tell me
Who’s looking who in the eye?
Rich man’s weakness
Poor man’s strength
Same cold ground
Same sky
