Eat the Rich Lyrics

It's difficult to get a man

To even try to understand

If his salary demands

That he doesn't understand

Or he's well off and doesn't need

To worry about a salary

A man of wealth, prosperity

In the lap of luxury

The billionaires are not like me

Or the rest of humanity

Their large share of everything

Is testament to wanton greed

Pressure cook democracy

Fricassee economy

The toast of high society

Lacking taste from what I see

That's why we need regulators

To cull the wealth accumulators

An ethical administrator

Who cares about the now and later

The one percent are so craven

Hungry for consolidation

A 501(c)3 foundation

Is such an appetizing tax haven

Eat the rich

And be in good health

Eat the rich

Redistribute wealth

Eat the rich

Have a sense of humor

Eat the rich

Be a good consumer

Eat the rich

And be in good health

Eat the rich

Redistribute wealth

Eat the rich

Have a sense of humor

Eat the rich

Be a good consumer

Late-stage capitalism

Mythical fiscal conservatism

Pump and dump

Out to lunch

Crypto offshore trading slump

They think we'll eat from their hands of course

You get the torches

I'll get the pitchforks

Excluded from their profit margin

Let's offer them a simple bargain

Pay your taxes in proportion

Or you help to feed a person

Those of us on reduced budgets

Reach into our empty pockets

Suckle from trickle down hypocrisy

The table scraps of our kleptocracy

Eat the rich

And be in good health

Eat the rich

Redistribute wealth

Eat the rich

Have a sense of humor

Eat the rich

Be a good consumer

Eat the rich

And be in good health

Eat the rich

Redistribute wealth

Eat the rich

Have a sense of humor

Eat the rich

Be a good consumer

Swallow your philanthropy

Your registered shell company

Cooking books as high finance

The privilege of your circumstance

Beholden to the shareholders

Neither state nor national borders

No borders

The upper crust won't feed that many

We've already fed them plenty

All our money, every penny

What'd they leave us?

I don't see any!

You may think I'm talking smack

All het up and on attack

I should probably walk it back

Instead of 'eat,' I should have said 'slag'

Slag the rich

They don't need our aid

Slag the rich

Class war and buffet

Sticks and stones may break bones

And words my never hurt

That's why I think the upper class

Should get their just dessert

Eat the rich

And be in good health

Eat the rich

Redistribute wealth

Eat the rich

Have a sense of humor

Eat the rich

Be a good consumer

Eat the rich
