Too Rich to Be Good Lyrics by Michael Monroe

Nights Are So Long

1987

[Verse 1]
Ain't no rules when you're at the top
Money talks, but it's all you've got
Sell your soul for wealth and fame
And you can never buy it back again
They pay a lot to keep you free
But you are guilty of impunity
A million fans look up to you
And you can get away with murder, too

[Chorus]
Too bad you really couldn't play
And you've got nothing to say
You're too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
Got more than you should

[Verse 2]
You spend your cash and talk a lot of trash
You're too smug, you act so brash
Can't trust nobody you've ever known
Got no friends, but you're never alone

[Chorus]
You’re out of touch with reality
You've gone too far too see that you’re
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
Got more than you should

[Bridge]
Ain't no rules when you're at the top
Money talks, but it's all you've got
Sell your soul for wealth and fame
And you can never buy it back again

[Chorus]
You're too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
Too rich to be good
You got more than you should
