What I think of Bush's friends in a song.
Eat The Rich
( Tyler / Perry / J. Vallance )


Yeah...


Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And a how I got to thinkin'
About a all those 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


A 'cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin'
'Bout'chor poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About'chor way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife

Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest... uh huh

So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you'd best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst your bubble
On the rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
A when you eats that kinda food


Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club
With Muff and uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens
A when you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes they may taste like shit
But go real good with wine

Eat the rich
A there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest

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

Eat the rich
A there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest


Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
A don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the rich
A that's my idea of a good time baby

(belch)

Aerosmith, Get A Grip, 1993

1. May I add one?
How much do you really want?
If you had it would it really solve your problems?
Do you realise the pain it causes
Struggling for something you may never get
How much would you sacrifice if I told you I could change your life?

You don't have to take on my advice
Don't do something that you might regret
How much do you really need?
Is it justified or is it greed?
If you satisfy your vanity
If you get to where you think you wanna go
How much is it gonna take?
Will you see it through or will you break?
Cos in the end what will you have to show?

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain't what you need
You've become a victim of your greed

How much do you really feel?
Can you recognise when something's real?
Do you live your life by fake ideals?
Do you think that one day you will get the chance?
What happens if you don't achieve
Will it be enough if you believe
You can just rely on destiny
Don't you know your fate is in your hands
How much is enough for you?

When you reach the top what will you do?
Will you look around for something new?
Without the destination will you carry on?
Will you try day after day
Pretend you don't hear what they say?
What would you do if all your pride was gone?

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain't what you need
You've become a victim of your greed

Cos material possessions ain't the world
(Ain't the world)
Nobody ever bought you happiness with diamonds or pearls
(Diamonds or pearls)
You've gotta look at this for what they really are
(What they really are)
Or you'll find yourself wanting more
Going way too far

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain't what you need
You've become a victim of your greed

Life can be lonely
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain't what you need
You've become a victim of your greed

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain't what you need
You've become a victim of your greed
