You were born silver spoon in hand
And diapers made of silk
I just don't think you understand
Our fight for bread and milk
And I know you can't comprehend
How hungry is the only way to go
I just don't think you understand
What it's like to be the 99, yeah, 99 below
We see a hollow suit
Watch it fill up with dollar bills and lies
We look into empty space
When we look into those soul-less eyes
And we got bills that we can't
No, we can't afford
Yeah, we got problems
But in our eyes you're just a thousand, just a thousand more
The puppet dances
Strings held by
The highest bidder
The price is right
Painted smile
Principles drown
Incentives appease
A moral-less clown
And the fire rages as the class war wages
And you lies won't phase us, no you just can't phase us
'Cause louder than words is a record and action
Withholding the truth offers no satisfaction
With a working class who can just kiss your ass
And the students who learn they're none of your concern
And the family who lives on pennies and stamps
Who dine by candlelight and sleep by lamps
"Why is that my concern?"
That's what we hear you say
"Why is that of my concern?"
"Why should I give a shit?"
And then we hear the dreaded question
"What does equality pay?"
..........
And you say......
"Not enough"
