Eat the Rich

HummerWisdom

From Wiki: ""Eat the rich" is a political slogan associated with anti-capitalism and left-wing politics, especially including anarchism. The phrase is commonly attributed to political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, from a quote first popularized during the French Revolution: "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich".

Eat the Rich kind 'a gross sounding but most relevant in this day we're living as it was back then.

EAT THE RICH

Billionaire oligarchs

Running the sh*t-show

Billionaire oligarchs

You know they gotta go

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor

 

Proven psychopaths

Heartless as can be

Proven psychopaths

Show no empathy

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor

 

CHORUS

Eat the rich

Eat the rich

We need to even the score

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor

 

Look behind the curtain

See the hidden hand

By their fruits for certain

Tell everyone you can

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor

 

CHORUS

Eat the rich

Eat the rich

We need to even the score

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor

 

Billionaire oligarchs

They’re running the sh*t-show

Billionaire oligarchs

You know they gotta go

We gotta eat the rich, eat the rich to feed the poor.

I really like those "uh huh"s at the start! Really in sync with the backing track!

Full on lyric! No holds barred on this one! A strong political message coming through loud and clear!

@HummerWisdom - A really powerful commentary Renee. Brutally honest lyrics and the supporting music is also driving home the message loud and clear. If you get to sing this in front of people I am sure it will become an anthem with thousands joining in at the chorus "Eat The Reach, Eat the Rich to feed the Poor"

@HummerWisdom - the only problem I have is that when I read your lyrics, I have Krocus's version stuck in my head.

I didn't expect this arrangement for this type of title hahaha

I loved it. Good song!!!

the naked truth...When everything runs out and all you can eat is... money!!! Even if only they have it, the rest of us will wait for them to digest it, shit it out, and then we'll eat them... @HummerWisdom

@bhengen wasn't aware of Krokus's version. Certain to put mine to shame. But I'll go ahead and listen. Thanks for the link.

Yep! Wild and Raw, Brutal, full of real imagery as it should be. LOVE it! Even tho' I'm not entirely a lover of metal!!
