Eat The Rich

 

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Jim Vallance)

 

Well I woke up this morning

On the wrong side of the bed

And how I got to thinkin'

About all those things you said

About ordinary people

And how they make you sick

And if callin' names kicks back on you

Then I hope this does the trick

 

Cause I'm a sick of your complainin'

About how many bills

And I'm sick of all your bitchin'

Bout your poodles and your pills

And I just can't see no humour

About your way of life

And I think I can do more for you

With this here fork and knife

 

Chorus:

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing they're good for

Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more

Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest

Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest

 

So I called up my head shrinker

And I told him what I'd done

Said you'd best go on a diet

Yeah I hope you have some fun

And a don't go burst a bubble

On the rich folks who get rude

ÔCause you won't get in no trouble

When you eats that kinda food

Now their smokin' up the junk bonds

And then they go get stiff

And they're dancin' in the yacht club

With Muff and Uncle Biff

But there's one good thing that happens

When you toss your pearls to swine

Their attitudes may taste like shit

But go real good with wine

Chorus

 

Wake up kid, it's half past your youth

Ain't nothin' really changes but the date

You a grand slammer, but you no Babe Ruth

You gotta learn how to relate

Or you'll be swingin' from the pearly gate

Now you got all the answers, low and behold

You got the right key baby but the wrong key ho, yo

 

Believe in all the good things

That money just can't buy

Then you won't get no belly ache

From eatin' humble pie

I believe in rags to riches

Your inheritence won't last

So take your Grey Poupon my friend

And shove it up your ass!

Chorus

 

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing they're good for

Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more

Eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy

Eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby
