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
