Rich Men North of Richmond - Oliver Anthony Acoustic Cover Remix by Michael Waskey Language Warning
I (Michael Waskey) attempt the mega viral, somewhat controversial Rich Men North of Richmond by the one and only Oliver Anthony.
I debated doing it as this is a tough song to cover and it could never be as good as the original but having never liked the most popular song on the planet before, and upon just one listening, thinking Dam! Thats a really good song, i went with it. So Joe Bryan (Image & Sound Media) & I set out to the pond to push record.
I suddenly remembered the existence of my Alverez baritone acoustic for a darker sound which I'm not sure I found the best key for my voice before recording. E
Either way, I hope you enjoy it and/or get something good and of God out of it.
Filmed in Centreville, MD by Joe Bryan of Image & Sound Media.

LYRICS
I've been sellin' my soul, workin' 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare
Well, 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 puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down
