you guys are all idiots. listen to the song, its about how the upper class thrives off the lower and middle classes. if it wasnt for the poor the rich would not be able to stay rich/get richer.

Yeah this is way obvious. I mean besides the obvious title of feeding off the weak, look at the other lyrics: "the factory mass producing fear" "There's always gonna be pedigree" -- pedigree means lineage, usually referring to a genealogy of royalty or excellence. In capitalism one of the main sources of inequality is inheritance -- the rich stay rich, the poor stay poor.

@gurskidos Indeed. The song's title is the inversion of "Eat the rich", which us the abbreviation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's saying "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich."
