"Eat the Rich" is a song by Aerosmith, released in 1993 as the second single from their album "Get a Grip". The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, and producer Jim Vallance.
The lyrics of the song criticize the greed and materialism of the wealthy and the social injustice that they perpetuate. The phrase "eat the rich" was popularized by French philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the 18th century, as a symbol of the anger and frustration of the poor against the rich.
The music video for "Eat the Rich" was directed by video artist Marty Callner and features a satirical portrayal of a fictional TV show called "Wayne's World", with cameos by actors Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and the rest of the band.
The song was a moderate commercial success, reaching #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #5 on the Mainstream Rock chart. It remains a favorite among Aerosmith fans and is often played in their live performances.
