Rich kids are born to hate the world That's why they steal their mothers' pearls All that money makes you sick (you've)got to find a way to get your kicks But you know it's really not his fault And growing up can be so cold Victim of a nursery crime All the mess your father left behind The flowers were white and red They laid them round the bed The sun shone down, the hearse drove on ahead Everybody loves you when you're dead With a needle in your leg On a Hammersmith sofa-bed They only gave you half a chance (When) they should've called the ambulance And though your mother nearly died of shame when the papers said what was to blame You can count on her in any crisis to be handing round the tranquilisers The flowers were white and red They laid them round the bed The sun shone down, the hearse drove on ahead Everybody loves you when you're dead Never thought we'd miss you quite as much as we do It's too late to tell you now Top people pay to put it straight A nose job was your sister's fate She always was a sacred cow Well she's married to the surgeon now And all the people that you used to see We've all grown up and got healthy Now and then we'll think of you As we slip into our daddies' shoes The flowers were white and red We laid them round the bed The sun shone down, the hearse drove on ahead Cuz everybody loves you when you're dead
