"Eat the Rich" is a song performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Jim Vallance and was released in June 1993 by Geffen Records as the second single from the band's eleventh album, Get a Grip (1993). The song had success on US rock radio, peaking at number five on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In the UK it peaked at number 34,^[2] and in Canada, it peaked at number 45. The band's next four singles and correlating videos garnered more mainstream success for the album.

The song quickly became a fan favorite and drew a rousing reaction from crowds when it was used as the band's opening song on the Get a Grip Tour.^{[citation needed]} The band has played the song several times on the Route of All Evil Tour, despite being generally limited to a 13-song setlist.

The song was featured on the band's 1994 Geffen Records-era greatest hits album Big Ones as well as the first song on the live double-album A Little South of Sanity.
