Rival Sons - Rich And The Poor Lyrics






They walked hand in hand to a future unknown
He carried the water in blankets he brought
So far past the curfew and they were alone
Her teeth bound by braces, and his teeth were not

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh

So into the darkness the rushes & leaves
They walked to the lake side, the moon hanging high
She showed him such sweet things, he could not believe
He would not forget for the rest of his life

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh

What's a boy to do when he wants what he can't understand
And she's a big girl and he knows he's in capable hands
And she took his hand and showed him what people ignore
She took his hand and showed him what bodies are for

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, the people get pain
Said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh

    I just had the displeasure of listening to this shite on a helicopter in Norway while travelling to an oil rig - fucking horrendous!
    I’ve heard better karaoke in my local boozer at 2300 on a Tuesday night

  5. C.... V....

    Sounds like I turned on a radio station from 1970. No one is coming close to making music like this in 2010's.

  6. B.... S....

    19 60 fuckin 8. Thats where this lives and breathes. Open up a bottle of " kick you in your teeth classic rock". The train never ends.

  7. j.... s....

    Bass reminds me of iron maiden🤘

  15. u.... ....

    "Meh, they sound like Led Zep"

    And how in any way is that a bad thing??! It's like seeing an attractive woman and saying "Meh, she just looks like Mary Elizabeth Winstead"... you know you'd smash that all over the bedroom!

    u.... ....

    It becomes a bad thing when GVF does it I guess lmao

  16. s.... ....

    What's the meaning of the lyrics? Does anybody know?

    s.... ....

    s.... ....

    This song is about making babies.

  17. J.... B....

    Moja muzyka  Jesteś the

  18. V.... B....

    I saw Rival Sons at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland Oregon last February ...I already was a huge fan of their music but my friends had never heard of them. They started strong with Electric Man one of my favorites I looked over at my friends and they were AMAZED they were rocking out and at the end all left with CD's.......What a performance Rival Sons Rock

    V.... B....

    Just recently discovered RS and am going to see them at the Wonder in Portland in May... very excited!!!

  19. D.... A....

    STOP COMPARING. HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND

  20. D.... A....

    STOP COMPARING. HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND

  21. A.... Z....

    Im gonna show you how babies are made.

  22. i.... h....

    i find it ridiculous when people compare these guys to led zep. i dont find them at all like led zep. Rival Sons are their own thing. Raw and amazing music

    i.... h....

    +izaak hooff This song has a dark heavy The Animals and Cream sound to me but modern

    i.... h....

    Really? I can definitely see some influence, especially in Open My Eyes. It doesn't really affect how I listen to them though because I still enjoy them as Rival Sons, not as Zeppelin 2.0

    i.... h....

    +Bryan Pescara This reminds me of The Animals - meets The Door - meets The Yardbirds - these guys have a retro - it's not bad, but it's not completely original either -at the --3:22-- mark it sounds a bit like Richie Blackmore's band 'Rainbow's - song 'Stone Cold'- he's got the Bonham barely muffled drum sound - the snare drum, nor the toms are muffled at all - you get that full, round, warm drum sound & the bass drum sounds like the lowest sounding drums - which is not common today in modern rock, nor metal.

    i.... h....

    "Raw" and "amazing" are absolute worthless words to describe the type of music someone plays.
    People rightly compare them with Led Zeppelin, The Animals, Cream and even The Doors.
    That's because their play style has those influences. What's ridiculous about it?

  23. C.... D....

    best song ever!

  24. f.... ....

    good lord this is the best deep purple...that isn't deep purple!

    f.... ....

    @flyfishincrazy There's a very strong Purple influence running through their songs. They're amazing.

    f.... ....

    +flyfishincrazy I thought this song had more to do with the Doors than Purple...... but is a great song...gonna see them with the Purps in a few days and will compare them better :D

  25. F.... H....

    Brilliant band ,brilliant album

  26. E.... K....

    Rival Sons !!

  27. N.... C....

           its a shame that these guys get constantly accused of copying Led Zep. I think any band after Led Zep that plays hard rock and are brilliant like these guys will be accused of copying Led Zep.. Anyhow..these guys are fucking awesome

    N.... C....

    Your right people are so quick to name check zeppelin,zeppelin are a great band but artists like these have so many influences,myself i love the jeff beck group who influenced zeppelin and steve marriot who also influenced robert plant but you rarely hear people drop those names.

    N.... C....

    @Devere Agard Check out the youtube vid of all the music zep stole

    N.... C....

    For me they're like a mixture of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Sometimes guitar sounds like Iommi's tones and effects and vocals reminds me R. Plant and his feeling. But who cares? They're awesome and this is what matters!

    N.... C....

    for me this is a very fine song. didnt remind me of Led Zep at all. 

  28. F.... ....

    This song is fantastic.

  29. K.... R....

    Effing awesome!

  30. J.... S....

    Love this band and there ability to play it all!

  31. m.... b....

    Supeeeeer

  32. d.... j....

    "..... the rich and the poor, thats how people get paid. She said Im gonna show you how baby's are made."  Very DOORSesque, mixed in with ZEP, and white stripes for good measure... throw in some " Animals".... and you have a tremendous band. When I heard this in the record store I had to buy the album. GREAT album !!

    d.... j....

    No....This is Rival Sons :D

  33. T.... F....

    This song is a magic masterpiece. 
    was a nice experience: Chilling, press Play..... enjoying hoch2.   
    then at 3:22 to.... takes me to a awesome higher Level :)

  34. K.... B....

    I just found this band what a sound they have unreal

  35. M.... P....

    ROCK ! 

  36. T.... ....

    Just discovered this band. So far, I haven't found a single song from their catalogue that I didn't like. 

  37. D.... C....

    I like these guys....But the guitar player is very maltose . He's just there..  .

  38. M.... B....

    Great signing and gig in Manchester, there is hope for the next generation I was talking to a 16 year old in the queue! Bring on December!

  39. J.... W....

    My favourite song of the recent album... Met the band at a store signing in manchester yesterday... Nicest guys you could ever meet and the future of rock n roll.... Gives you hope for this generation

  40. A.... R....

    This song is by far one of the most darkest that Rival Sons has ever made. The chorus has been in my head like 3 days allready? hahaha

  41. J.... M....

    Anyone else notice that Earache Records has 666 videos now? Badass

  42. A.... P....

    fianllyyy out the best song of the album is really amazing great music Rival sons keep on rocking:D

  43. S.... B....

    oh yeah!
