Eat the Rich Lyrics by Ellefson

No Cover

[Verse 1]
I've been down, I've been beat
I've been tossed into the street
Beggin' nickels, beggin' dimes
Just to get my bottle of wine
Some say life, she's a lady
Kinda soft, kinda shady
I can tell you life is rich
She's no lady, she's a bitch
[Pre-Chorus]
They suck my body out
But friend, there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues
I'm so sick of being abused
[Chorus]
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Don't you know life is a bitch?
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Out of the palace and into the ditch
[Verse 2]
Steal my money, steal my car
Took my woman and my old guitar
Runnin' crazy, runnin' wild
Blind alley in my mind
I can't fight the temptation
It's become my inspiration
Gonna get myself an axe
Break some heads and break some backs
[Pre-Chorus]
They suck my body out
But friend, there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues
'Cause I'm so sick of being abused
[Chorus]
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Don't you know life is a bitch?
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Out of the palace and into the ditch (Don't stop me)
[Chorus]
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Don't you know life is a bitch?
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Out of the palace and into the ditch
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Don't you know life is a bitch?
Eat the rich (The rich), eat the rich (The rich)
Out of the palace and into the ditch
Out of the palace and into the ditch
[Outro]
They suck my body out
