Wake up kids it's half past the youth Ain't nothin really changin but the date You're a grand slammer, but your no Babe Ruth You got to learn how to relate, or you'll be swingin from the pearly gate Yeah, I got all the answers, lo and behold I got the right key baby But the wrong key hole-yo
EAT THE RICH (Tyler, Perry, Vallance)
Well I woke up this morning On the wrong side of the bed And how I got to thinkin' About 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
'Cause I'm sick of your complainin' About how many bills And I'm sick of all your bitchin' 'Bout your poodles and your pills And I just can't see no humor About your 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: take one bite now - come back for more Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest
So I called up my head shrinker And told him what I done He said you best go on a diet Yeah I hope you have some fun And a don't go burst a bubble On rich folk who get rude 'Cause you won't get in no trouble When you eats that kind of food Now they're smoking up their junk bonds And then they go get stiff And they're dancing at the yacht club With Muff and Uncle Biff But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine Their attitudes may taste like shit But go real good with wine
* Repeat
Believe in all the good things That money just can't buy 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: there's only one thing that they're good for Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more Eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy Eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby
There's somethin' wrong with the world today I don't know what it is Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way And God knows it ain't His It sure ain't no surprise
We're livin' on the edge
There's somethin' wrong with the world today The light bulb's gettin' dim There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man By the color of his skin Then mister you're a better man than I
We're livin' on the edge You can't help yourself from fallin' Livin' on the edge You can't help yourself at all Livin' on the edge You can't stop yourself from fallin' Livin' on the edge
Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion Complication - aggravation Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin' Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin' Back again? I bet you would my friend Again & again & again & again & again
Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion Complication - aggravation Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin' Even if it was would you still come crawlin' Back again? I bet you would my friend Again & again & again & again
Something right with the world today And everybody knows it's wrong But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go But I would rather be a hangin' on
Livin' on the edge Livin' on the edge Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge You can't help yourself from fallin' You can't help yourself at all Livin' on the edge You can't stop yourself from fallin' Livin' on the edge You can't help yourself You can't help yourself Livin' on the edge You can't help yourself at all You can't help yourself Livin' on the edge You can't help yourself from fallin' Livin' on the edge
There was a time When I was brokehearted Love wasn't much of a friend of mine The tables have turned - yeah 'Cause me and them ways have parted That kinda love was the killin' kind
All I want is someone I can't resist I know - all I - need to know By the way I got kissed
I was Cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Your love is sweet misery I was Cryin' just to get you Now I'm tryin' 'cause I let you Do what you do down on me

It's down on me Yeah, I got to tell you something It's been on my mind, girl I gotta say We're partners in crime You got that certain something What you do to me takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street Is the devil's in your kiss If our love goes up in flames That's a fire I can't resist
I was Cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Your love is sweet misery I was Cryin' just to get you Now I'm tryin' 'cause I let you Do what you do down on me
'Cause what you got inside Ain't where your love should stay Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love 'Til you give your heart away

Come 'ere baby You know you drive me up a wall the way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love And it always seems you got somn' on your mind other than me Girl, you got to change your crazy ways You hear me? Say you're leavin' on a seven thirty train and that you're headin' out to Hollywood Girl you've been givin' me that line so many times it kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good, yeah That kinda lovin' Turns a man to a slave That kinda lovin' Sends a man right to his grave I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy You turn it on Then you're gone Yeah you drive me Crazy, crazy, crazy, for you baby What can I do, honey I feel like the color blue
You're packin' up your stuff and talkin' like it's tough and tryin' to tell me that it's time to go, yeah But I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that overcoat And it's all a show, yeah

Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby I'm losin' my mind, girl 'Cause I'm goin' crazy Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby You turn it on, then you're gone Yeah you drive me
I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Tryin to walk through The pain When I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie I was wishin that I Would die
chorus
It's Amazing With the blink of an eye you finally see the light It's Amazing When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright It's Amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation And how high can you fly with broken wings? Life's a journey not a destination And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl Before you learn to walk But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay Alive
