Lyric video for Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony created by ​⁠@CountryAtItsFinest

Lyrics:

Well, I've been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay

So I can sit out here
And waste my life away
Drag back home
And drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame
What the world's gotten to
For people like me
And people like you
Wish I could just wake up
And it not be true
But it is
Oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord, knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know
But I know that you do

'Cause your dollar ain't shit
And it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men
North of Richmond

I wish politicians
Would look out for miners
And not just miners on an island somewhere

Lord, we got folks in the street
Ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

But God if you're five foot three
And you're three hundred pounds
Taxes ought not to pay
For your bags of fudge rounds

Young men are putting themselves
Six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does
Is keep on kicking them down
Lord, it's a damn shame
What the world's gotten to
For people like me
And people like you
Wish I could just wake up
And it not be true
But it is
Oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord, knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know
But I know that you do

'Cause your dollar ain't shit
And it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men
North of Richmond

I've been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay

  • This man refused to play at a show when he found out tickets were over $100, he found one where it was only $20.. a man for the people.. ✊
  • @trumpies
    I’m a 42 years old truck driver and have been working 70 hours a week plus side work for over 7 years straight. And this hit home. I take responsibility for not living a financially perfect younger life, but pair that with a divorce and a family tragedy, I feel buried and no matter how much I grind and stay positive, I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Politicians are so out of touch with who they “represent”. It’s gotten so much harder just to stay afloat these past few years. I do not need or want any hand outs. But stop making it so damn hard for hard working Americans to get ahead or climb out of struggles no matter how we got there.
  • @MegaGusgus
    I'm from France, and i don't speak English very well but i understand what you sing and it's so true in my country too. Thank you Man, god bless you, America and France 🇺🇲🇫🇷
  • Not a country fan at all, I'm a raging metalhead. Dude, .... You brought me to tears with this. You just spoke for all of us and I thank you from the deepest part of my soul. This Canadian has your back....... Amazing. And please, don't stop, keep going with your music, I think we all need it.
  • I don’t know if you all heard but he refused to be on big record labels after this song, first guy I’ve seen that actually has morels.
  • @thejesuslady
    When the songwriter makes you feel something that strikes you all the way to your core you know that they have a God-given talent. I also love very much how he let the politicians know he's not one of them and does not want them to say he is on either side of the aisle as their supporter. This man needs to be protected at all costs. Angels do your jobs!!!❤
  • We need about 150 million more saying the same. Unity is POWERFUL!!! What a powerful message and man with tremendous courage. God be with us all!
  • Wow! Just heard this song for the first time and immediately got chills! The voice, the sound, the emotion & the message all so real!
  • Talk about singing from the heart it's easy to do when you speak the truth God bless you and keep up the wonderful message and the Beautiful music
  • Wow!!! The first song I've heard about "the new world"! Finally one singer who has the guts to go public with this issue!!! Perfect!❤
  • As long as we are behind this kid, he will never need anything from the labels! So he just needs to keep singing the truth! He has all of us behind him, and that's bigger than any record label could ever reach!!!
  • Listened 500 times, still a lump in my throat and tears! Always! No words except that it's perfect. SMH!
  • @annieZannie
    The lyrics are for you, me and everyone. This guy could bring this country together. 💙🇺🇸♥️
  • Amazing how it doesn't matter what country you come from, the lyrics and the feeling behind them ring true. Well done young man, a song for the people.
  • That's that Appalachian state of mind I love it and damn proud to be part of it
  • I swear this song resonates with ALL Americans. No matter race nor gender. Thanks for this amazing song 💪🏿💯
  • It's funny how some people are attacking him on this song. He is saying what people are going through and it scares them. That's why this song resonates with so many people not just here but worldwide. He is the voice of the working man everywhere. God bless you sir keep doing that 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
  • I grew up in a home where both of my parents were drug addicts, I would come home from school frequently to a note on the door that read " Go to Vic's house we will let you know where we have moved to. See ya bud". I spent 20 years in the army, it was my only option to move up a class in this country. When one of the few ways to better your and your family's lives is war, there is something seriously wrong. All for someone's personal vendetta. This song speaks for most of Americans.
