1) Sixto Diaz Rodriguez (also known as Rodriguez or as Jesus Rodriguez) is an American folk musician, born in Detroit, Michigan on July 10, 1942. He was named 'Sixto' (pronounced seex-toe) because he was the sixth child in his family. Rodriguez's parents were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, who left in the 1920s. In most of his songs he takes a political stance on the cruelties facing the inner city poor.

[Intro] Am*
[Verse] Dm* E* Am* The moon is hanging in the purple sky Dm* E* bass Dm* Baby's sleeping while its mother sighs E* Am* Talking 'bout the rich folks Dm* Rich folks have the same jokes E* Am* And they park in basic places
[Verse] The priest is preaching from a shallow grave He counts his money, then he paints you saved Talking to the young folks Young folks share the same jokes But they meet in older places
[Chorus] Dm* EAm* So don't tell me about your success Dm* EAm* Nor your recipes for my happiness Dm* E Smoke in bed Am* I never could digest Dm* EAm* Those illusions you claim to have going
[Verse] The sun is shining, as it's always done Carbon dust is the fate of everyone Talking 'bout the rich folks The poor create the rich hoax And only late breast-fed fools believe it
[Chorus] So don't tell me about your success Nor your recipes for my happiness Smoke in bed I never could digest Those illusions you claim to have going
