ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
Open up your heart and mind
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
Open up your heart and mind
Give the poor man a chance
Help stop these hard, hard time
While you livin' in your mansion
You don't know what hard time means
While you livin' in your mansion
You don't know what hard time means
Oh, workin' man's wife is starvin'
Your wife is livin' like a queen
Please, listen to my pleadin'
'Cause I can't stand these hard time long
Oh, listen to my pleadin'
Can't stand these hard time long
They'll make an honest man do things
That you know is wrong
All man fought all the battles
All man would fight again today
All man fought all the battles
All man would fight again today
He would do anything you ask him
In the name of the U.S.A
Now the war is over
All man must live the same as you
Now the war is over
All man must live the same as you
If it wasn't for the poor man
Mister Rich Man what would you do?
ÜBERSETZUNG
Herr Reicher Mann, Reicher Mann
Öffne dein Herz und deinen Geist
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
Öffne dein Herz und deinen Verstand
Gib dem armen Mann eine Chance
Hilf, diese harte, harte Zeit zu beenden
~ ~ While you livin' in your mansion ~ ~
Du weißt nicht, was harte Zeit bedeutet
While you livin' in your mansion
Du weißt nicht, was harte Zeit bedeutet
Oh, die Frau eines arbeitenden Mannes verhungert
Deine Frau lebt wie eine Königin
Bitte, hör auf mein Flehen
Denn ich ertrage diese harte Zeit nicht lang
~ Oh, listen to my pleadin' ~
~ Can't stand these hard time long ~
~ They'll make an honest man do things ~
That you know is wrong

All man fought all the battles
All man would fight again today
Er würde alles tun, was du von ihm verlangst
Im Namen der U.S.A.
Jetzt ist der Krieg vorbei
Alle Menschen müssen so leben wie ihr
Jetzt ist der Krieg vorbei
Alle Menschen müssen so leben wie du
Wenn es nicht für den armen Mann wäre
Mister Rich Man, was würdest du tun?
