Lyrics
Yeah!
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 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 humor about your way of life
And I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, spit out the rest
So I called up my headshrinker, 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 your bubble on the rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food
Now they're 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
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, spit out the rest
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 inheritance won't last
So take your Grey Poupon, my friend and shove it up your ass!
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, spit out the rest
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
I take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich
Don't stop me now, I'm going crazy
Eat the rich
Now that's my idea of a good time, baby
