"Eat the Rich" is a song by the heavy metal band Motörhead. It was released as a single in 1987, in 7" and 12" vinyl pressings. It is covered with (B-side's) "Cradle to the Grave", the 12" vinyls have a bonus track "Just 'Cos You Got The Power".
The title song is taken from the Rock 'n' Roll album and was used in Peter Richardson's 1987 film Eat the Rich, starring the regular cast of The Comic Strip.
The Dutch single released by Roadrunner Records took the title track of the album as the A-side in place of "Eat The Rich", keeping "Cradle to the Grave" as the B-side. The sleeve used the artwork on the album cover,[1] both sleeve designs were created by Joe Petagno.
The chorus from the song is as follows:
- C'mon baby, eat the rich
- Put the bite on that son of a bitch
