Eat The Rich is about the evils of capitalism, its effects on our planet, and its population.
It's a call to recognize the power that people have collectively, and how it's time to stand up for the rights of the many, to fight for a better world for ourselves.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Dissent and delusion, chaos, confusion
Panic, penance and pain
Compassion confounded as sirens are sounded
And the cycle begins all again
Systemic pandemic, how long ‘til it’s too thick
To breathe this toxicity
Abusive, reclusive, so it’s conclusive
Evil’s eyes are baby blue
Palaces painted in other’s pain
Privilege smiles knowingly
Break down the doors to the ivory towers and
Take back control of our fear
Dactylic verses tell how kings will cower when
We rise up to overthrow
Your appetite will never be satisfied
Until you’ve consumed all the Earth can provide
You claim licence to inflict this blight
We have no rights, no rights, no rights
Sick hearts, the rot grows deep
How to discern the evil from weak
Persist with exhausting cry
Recognise failure, cast it aside
Sow the seeds of violence, and you shall reap pain
If you the prince, and I the pauper
Would you starve me, or would you shelter?
Break down the doors to the ivory towers and
Take back control of our fear
Dactylic verses tell how kings will cower when
We rise up to overthrow
Our appetite will never be satisfied
Until the title of master has died
Don’t claim tradition, pressure from the grave
You have no rights, no rights, no rights
Who dares to join this darkness?
To join the beauty of countless voices?
Dissenting cries against ignorance
Anger sparked by impassion
Sow the seeds of violence, and you shall reap pain
If you the prince, and I the pauper
Would you starve me, or would you shelter?
Break down the doors to the ivory towers and
Take back control of our fear
Dactylic verses tell how kings will cower when
We rise up to overthrow
