James Clive Scott - Mr. One Percent Lyrics

Hey Mr CEO tell me what you see
When you're sitting by your pool
In your gated community
Do you see the tired woman
Picking up your trash
Do you see the hungry children
Sifting through the ash
Well it don't matter to you anyhow
You just keep raking in the cash
You just keep raking in the cash

And its greed, greed, greed
As you all line up to feed
You got your heads stuck in the trough
You won't see we've had enough
Yeah you'll be one percent of nothing when the walls come down
Yeah one percent of nothing when the walls come down

Hey Mr Politics can you sleep at night
After lying to your people
About what's wrong and right
You blame it on the Immigrants
Blame it on the race
Well when you've met your corporate masters
Make sure you wipe your face

But all you Wall Street Cowboys
You all made a big mistake
You gave us all the internet
And we're starting to awake

We see our sisters and our brothers
We don't buy into your hate
Our kindness and compassion
Will finally seal your fate

Hey Mr Media do you really know what's true
You lie to get your ratings and
You play us all for fools
You feed us our distractions
And we suck it up like honey
While you analyze and criticize
And keep takin in the money

Hey there Mr Coal and Oil
Do ya think it's getting hot
Or is that just bad science
And the rest of us can rot
While the planet's slowly dyin
And you build your stacks of cash
Will it really all be worth it
When your children stop and ask

And its greed, greed, greed
As you all line up to feed
You got your heads stuck in the trough
You won't see we've had enough
Yeah you'll be one percent of nothing when the walls come down
Yeah one percent of nothing when the walls come down

But change is soon a coming
And the People are asking hey
We're learning to imagine
What John Lennon tried to say
We're turnin turnin turnin
Our backs to you to say
We're takin back our planet
And you don't get your way
We're takin back our planet
And you don't get your way

You'll be one percent of nothing when the walls come down
Yeah one percent of nothing when the walls come down
