Eat the Rich Songtext
von Tysondog

I stand here alone
And speak out for my kind, we′re the ones
Who must fight for our crust
All men are born equal
Or so it is said, so why

Must we crawl in the dust
Are we so different
In the eyes of the world
That you jealously guard

The seeds you have sewn
What gives you the right to ignore that we're here and retreat
To your mansions of stone

Eat the rich
Bow to your knees and relent
to your master untold

Eat the rich
Destroy at your ease a lifetime
that′s born to be sold


Conservative views rearranged by the fact
That your lives
May be going too well

In your head there's a man who you wanted to be but his eyes
burn and bid you farewell

You never looked back since the day you were born
When your wealth was layed out at your feet

Inherited privileges rain from the sky
While the poor fight to make their ends meet

Eat the rich
Bow to your knees and relent
to your master untold

Eat the rich
Destroy at your ease a lifetime
that's born to be sold

Eat the rich
Bow to your knees and relent
to your master untold

Eat the rich
Destroy at your ease a lifetime
that′s born to be sold


Men of the church kneel and worship
A man dressed in rags
Yet their statues are gold

His was the voice of the thousands that starved in the wastelands and slums
Yet his voice sounded cold

Back from the past ride the nobleman′s ghost from an age
Filled with cruel decay

The wealth you've acquired turns your nose to the air when asked why
You′ve nothing to say

Eat the rich
Bow to your knees and relent
to your master untold

Eat the rich
Destroy at your ease a lifetime
that's born to be sold
