Aerosmith - Eat The Rich

Aerosmith - Eat The Rich

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.
'Cause 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.
