Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Were all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
Were running out of choices and theres no rules to the game.
Im getting tired of feeling this way,
What can a single man do? what can he say?
Every day you walk the edge of a knife,
Youre left with nothing at the end of your life.
Theyve got their hands in your pocket,
Theyll take the clothes off your back...
...theyll stop you like a heart attack.
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone,
They take such good care of the rest of the world,
But, what about the folks?
At home, oh yeah! point the finger at the man you chose,
Hell say hes sorry, but its just the way it goes.
He sits in judgement like a king on a throne,
till that november when hell beg for a bone...
...brother, dont ignore the facts...!
