Verse 1
Em 
So  (E minor) as you know,
you're the fat cat developer,
D 
and you know the book on  (D major) you
Em 
F 
Em 
is  (E minor) that you throw  (F major) little old  (E minor) ladies
who can't afford to rent
part of the apartment.
I don't think that's the book on me,
if you want to hear
I don't think it is at all.
I think probably it's just the opposite.
We have very wealthy people
in this particular building.
We have a building on 100
Central Park South.
Probably the best piece of real estate
in New York and the world.
We have very wealthy people,
extremely wealthy people
living in this building.
We a second home.
It's quite accurate to say
that every occupant
is an extremely wealthy person.
D 
Em 
No, the ones  (D major) that are complain (E minor) ing
are the wealthy.
The ones that are complaining
are the wealthy.
E 
These are people with a  (E major) lot of money.
Em 
 (E minor) One of them is a brownstone.
A number of brownstones
in this 66th district
E 
which is living in this build (E major) ing
Em 
for a  (E minor) rent -controlled rent.
The rent -controlled people,
the people that need rent control,
they're not the ones that are protected.
It's people that are usually wealthy
with a lot of influence
that have the connections
to get a rent -controlled apartment.
D 
People  (D major) that might need it,
Em 
Bbaug 
D 
Em 
they  (E minor) don't have to  (B flataug) pay      rent.  (D major)  (E minor) 
And it's a little fast.
I mean, that's a little bit like saying,
you know, people are out of
work
because they're lazy.
Well, I think it may be,
well, first of all, let's, let's, the, uh, the building I'm setting up for myself, you can settle,
you own it, and you, you make your deal with all the residents,
you're more than happy it. uh,
back to this, uh, this lawsuit.
So you hire, uh, Roy Cohn,
E 
and he goes to work, and you own it.  (E major) 
Em 
 (E minor) Cohn doesn't like lawyers either,
because they always want to settle,
D 
Em 
and  (D major) you don't like that  (E minor) about lawyers.
The idea of settling drove me crazy.
D 
The fact was that we did  (D major) rent to
Em 
 (E minor) black -owned buildings.
D 
 (D major) What we didn't do was
Em 
 (E minor) rent to welfare cases,
white or black.
Watch what happened when the government
came after Samuel Lefranc, another builder,
D 
Em 
 (D major) and he  (E minor) caved in,
D 
starting taking  (D major) welfare cases.
Em 
D 
Em 
They virtu (E minor) ally ruined his  (D major) building.  (E minor) 
Um...
D 
Welfare cases ruined his building.  (D major) 
Em 
Isn't that...  (E minor) I got you
pretty close here to...
To look like an insensitive guy
D 
Em 
from  (D major) atop  (E minor) your Trump Tower
D 
Em 
look (D major) ing down on the woman  (E minor) rank
D 
Em 
 (D major) over the vast homes  (E minor) of your
own empire.
D 
shouldn't we  (D major) have just a little
more understanding
Em 
from a man of your influ (E minor) ence and wealth on the issue of making
New York livable for all of us safely on the subway easily?
If the answer is absolutely,
then we can't continue
to give you guys
these big tax breaks.
And that would go for General Electric
and NBC too.
You tell us in your own book
that you wouldn't have money
on the Trump Tower in New York or
E 
D 
Em 
D 
Em 
in other places.  (E major)  (D major)  (E minor)  (D major)  (E minor) 
Trump Tower goes,
D 
Em 
an (D major) d I'm  (E minor) not  entitled,
I'm the only building in
the city of New York
that's not entitled.
I don't think that's a good thing.
D 
Em 
Look at  (D major) the, look at  (E minor) the  location
of your building.
D 
Em 
 (D major) What locations  (E minor) in   the world
have funded this?
D 
Em 
 (D major) Sure,  (E minor) there are other
wonderful locations.
D 
Also, they're also  (D major) get
Em 
ting tax  (E minor) abatements.
I won the case,
D 
they didn't give  (D major) it to me.
Em 
It  (E minor) took me two and a half years in court.
I won it seventh
E 
Em 
D 
and  (E major) I've been in  (E minor) three different  (D major) courts.
Em 
I'm  (E minor) very happy about it.
D 
Em 
I didn't win it because I  (D major) so much needed  (E minor) it
D 
Em 
 (D major) as much  (E minor) as because of the moral principle
D 
Em 
 (D major) of using  (E minor) pedophilia.
If nobody's going to get it,
I'm satisfied.
E 
A 
If every (E major) body's going to get  (A major) it,
E 
I shouldn't be the only  (E major) one
Em 
E 
F#m 
 (E minor) that's not  (E major) getting  (F sharp minor) it.
Em 
E 
A 
E 
 (E minor) And I know  (E major) you well enough  (A major) to  (E major) know
A 
D 
that  (A major) you would (D major) n't take it easy.
E 
Em 
If you  (E major) were in  (E minor) my   position,
E 
 (E major) you wouldn't take that.
Em 
E 
Em 
E 
So, that's what happene (E minor) d.    (E major)  (E minor)  (E major) 
F#m 
E 
Hey, let's hear it for the rich folk!  (F sharp minor)  (E major) 
But, you tell us also in your book,
you left Queens
and you left Brooklyn for Manhattan
to, uh, to get away from rent control.
You're, you're earnest
to tell us in this
Well, I'm earnest.
Hey, I'm not running for anything.
E 
I'm not running for,  (E major) uh,
because I don't have to lie in a book.
Em 
I want to tell the facts, okay?  (E minor) 
E 
D 
 (E major) I mean, do you  (D major) want me to say
F#m 
E 
Little Figs and Little This  (F sharp minor) and   Little  (E major) That
and how much we all love rent control
and what a great thing it's
been for New York?
It's been a disaster for New York.
It's badly hurt New York.
It's crippled New York.
It's made it impossible
Em 
E 
E 
for  (E minor)  (E major) a  lot  (E major) of people
to live in New York.
Em 
E 
And you  (E minor) see what's  (E major) happening.
Em 
 (E minor) You look at the Bronx.
E 
You look  (E major) at certain parts of
Queens and Brooklyn.
You see what rent control's done.
E 
And I  (E major) think you know it as well
as anybody else.
Rent control, and I'm one of the
E 
few  (E major) de velopers in the world
that would ever say it.
Some forms of rent control
are sometimes necessary,
E 
 (E major) to protect the elderly,
E 
to protect  (E major) people
that truly don't have the money,
Em 
E 
 (E minor) but  when you have mul (E major) ti -millionaires,
C#m 
and not all instances  (C sharp minor) of    this.
