Verse 1
Rich man wakes up behind a guarded gate,
Poor man wakes up praying the rent can wait.
One worries 'bout the market, one worries 'bout the lights,
One can't sleep on silk sheets, one can't sleep at night.
Rich man pours whiskey that costs a day's pay,
Poor man buys a cheap shot to wash the week away.
Different sides of town, different kinds of pain,
But trouble don't give a damn what's in your name.
Chorus
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
Everybody's got a joker at the bottom.
One's scared to lose it, one's got nothing to lose,
Both wake up hurting with a different excuse.
You can live on a hill or sleep near the tracks,
Life takes something and don't give it back.
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
Money changes everything—but it damn sure don't solve 'em.
Verse 2
Rich man's wife says, "You ain't never home,"
Poor man's woman says, "I'm tired of living broke."
One kid wrecks a brand-new Cadillac,
One kid's driving twenty miles on a donut flat.
Chorus
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
Everybody's got a joker at the bottom.
One's scared to lose it, one's got nothing to lose,
Both wake up hurting with a different excuse.
You can live on a hill or sleep near the tracks,
Life takes something and don't give it back.
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
Money changes everything—but it damn sure don't solve 'em.
Bridge
I've been broke enough to know what hunger means,
Seen rich men choking on their own damn dreams.
So don't envy the mansion, don't pity the shack,
Everybody's carrying something on their back.
Final Chorus
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
Different size pockets, same old bottom.
One counts millions, one counts change,
But heartache spends about the same.
When the last bell rings and they close that box,
Nobody's taking their money or debts when they walk.
Rich man problems, poor man problems,
You can buy damn near anything—
but you can't buy your way out of all of 'em.

This is a nice song. Good job.

However, I listened to "The Devil Is In The Details," on SUNO, and imo-fwiw2u, that is an exceptional set of lyrics. Great job. You should post that.

I suggest trying some other persona on the vocal though. The gravel-ly voice is good, but some other voice might be just as good or better.

I thought the song was so good, that I broke my own rule not to post here between evaluations.
I don't knnow how you do your stuff these days. I assume that you have a robot advisory board for the lyrics.
Whatever and however you arrived at the devil-details song is working well for you.

The Devil and details is a cliche , I'm sure its been done, probably wont cut the song . I use the same method on writing songs I have for 2 years now . I use AI as the cowriter

I'm not re-singing this , it fits the vibe on angry on being rich and poor and the bullshit of life .We all end up in a box dead , 4 million or 75 cents . You're broke cuz your dead . So you better live now rich or poor .. Retire to what your tomb of memories ? Oh talk about the weather and politics , Your vote matters and pigs wear pink underwear , oh boy , no thanks keep cutting songs . We're so rich in Nashville . Were saving prison Zoos .. That gorilla hates your guts humans .Why don't you name it dead animal walking ? You stupid humans . Thanks Marty

The "Devil's In The Details" is a well known proverb/aphorism, and a cliche, but there are some very good lines in that song that aren't cliches.

Nope been done a million times. I knew it when I wrote it. Ghosted by Fairy Tale songs is next. There all the same the devil made me do it. Really it was the devil ? probably that stripper in Dallas. Oh you forgot about that cuz your 40 now and preaching to kids on being saints. You're a liar lol , old joke. Yeah I'm mister rogers now

I'd agree needs a singer, or at least an effort to sing normally. Sounds too much like hemorrhoids. I don't think you have to sing that way.

I like the guitar sound, and howvthe chorus comes in, your good at catching the listener snoozing.

I think mentioning rich man and poor man in the verses takes away from the chorus.

Don't have to be so general, its more like reporting than a story.

guess you have a style.

Pretty cool
