The One Percent

We break our backs
To make them stacks of money
That they just don't share
Just give me some
I'll stand and scrum
Come on, divvy up and make it fair

Yeah we're living in a jail
And the bars are made of money
I'm tryin' not to laugh
'Cause it really isn't funny
We're always gonna pay the rent
To the one percent

Now listen, we sit in line
Just wasting time
Trying to get to work each day
Pollute the air, but they don't care
Gotta work the way they say

They always make you think
That you're gonna make a pile
But then they take it back
With a crooked little smile
You're never gonna make a dent
With the one percent
Not the one percent

Can't pay my loan
Don't own my home
I'm never gonna meet these ends
They have it all
But never call
Come on, what's a billion between friends

One day I'm gonna make it, but it's always wait and see
Just playing for my chance in the human lottery
I'll never have to pay the rent
When I'm one percent

When I'm rich and famous, you'll never see a dime
I won't come to work, but you better be on time
'Cause I'm the one that's heaven sent
Yeah I'm one percent
Don't ask me where the money went
'Cause I'm one percent
