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
The day rolls in, the night rolls out Desire rules without a doubt The heart beats fast, you salivate And when you come it won't be late I guess by now you got the score A little taste you want it more From San Antonio to Marrakesh Yeah when the night comes Every body's gotta have FLESH You got me all soakin' wet FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat From the day that Eve did Adam Down to Romeo and Juliette Everybody gotta have...
The prince of lust has met his match The witch has brewed her baddest batch His sword is sharp and hard as stone Her cauldron begs for one more bone And so my love, this story's told From modern times to days of old From Boston Mass to Bangladesh Yeah, when the night comes Everybody's gotta have FLESH It's got me all soakin' wet FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah From the Mississippi River To the highest mountain in Tibet Everybody gotta have...
FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat FLESH - you got me all soakin' wet FLESH - the only thing, the only thing, the only thing From a suvie in a Rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvett e Everybody gotta have...
You wonder why you got holes in your shoes You wonder why they got more money than you You wonder why you got nothin' to lose It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out You gotta walk on downWalk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's Walk on down Walk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's
Well, she says that she loves ya In your mind there's no doubt, but You feel like a stranger When the lights go out As you lie there awake You think this ain't no gift Don't try to figure that weight's too heavy to lift You gotta walk on down Walk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's Walk on down Walk on down 'Cause I got no time to lose It's my life if I choose Put on my walkin' shoes
Walk on down Walk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down Walk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's Walk on down Walk on down Walk on down When you're shit outta luck There's just one thing to do and that's Walk on down
Chorus: Talk is cheap, shut up and dance Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Love has got me down The weight is all around So you lend a hand to peace on earth Here's my piece, now what's it worth Yea, but it's all right
When you can't define the crime Then life ain't worth a dime When they take away everything you got And they rub your nose in the funky spot Not without a fight
When you work your fingers to the bone And what does that get you--NOTHING If in a crowd of people You're still alone I hope that tells you something
The road to heaven is paved in hell And it makes you wonder Why you're here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance He wears the dress and she wears the pants Here comes Jill and she needs romance But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!
Sex is like a gun You aim, you shoot, you run When you're splittin hairs with Mr. Clean It' like gettin head from a guillotine And the night has just begun Chorus
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

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
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 a livin' a lie I was wishin' that I Would die
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
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
