Aerosmith - Eat the rich

free counters



Well I woke up this morning

On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinking
About all the 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 complaining
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitching
'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
...................................................................................
(Chorus)
Eat The Rich
There's only one thing that they are 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
He said you best go on a diet
Yeah, I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst the bubble
On rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eat that kind of food
......................................................................................................
Now they're smoking up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancing 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.

....................................................................................................

Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eating humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Gray Poupon my friend
And show it up  your ass

.......................................................................................................
