I'm not quite sure what message Ron was trying to get across with this one, but one thing's for sure, the only thing with more problems than the social system is Ron. If anyone out there has Last Lost Generation figured out, I'd really like to see it.

Just stick to your pentatonics and you'll be fine. e-----------------------------| B-----------------------------| G--5---5-7-7b-7b-7p5--5-5-----| D---7-7--------------7----7---| A-----------------------------| E-----------------------------| Then back into the intro and verse parts. Here's the lyrics: My best friend's got a great career, she answers phones for seven dollars an hour. And every now and then we paint the town red and eat our way toward a different balance of power. Well it's our fate and we don't refuse it, it's our plate but we did not choose it Yeah, I'm eating the rich now Oooh, I'm eating the rich now It's a revolutionary chow down Well I'm a snotty brat with a bad attitude, but I don't believe the world owes me a dinner Yeah, cause even Jesus Christ might have dined and dashed the last supper what a bad holy host, a bread breakin' sinner yeah, yeah Cause every power lunch has a gold card lining, I feel like the Karl Marx of dining Yeah, I'm eating the rich now Oooh, I'm eating the rich now It's a revolutionary chow down I hate to eat and run A brisk run from the cops could help your meal digest, I suggest not a dead-end alley Cause if track you down they'll serve you up like a criminal du jour, they'll toss you like a salad So take your place and stop your bitchin', the head chef in the death row kitchen Yeah, I'm eating the rich now Oooh, I'm eating the rich now It's a revolutionary chow down
