Eat The Rich

It’s only a matter of time

This message is for the top one percent

The people have grown to resent

Breaking their backs for slave wages

You haven't begun to see what rage is

Bleed us dry for necessities

We’ve never had times like these

Making us blame each other was clever

But that won't last forever

We'll find the solidarity

To put an end to your barbarity

Let’s bring back the guillotine

And eat you for the protein

It’s only a matter of time

Until you pay for your crime

While you sit in your ivory tower

Remember who has real power

Eat the rich
