WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT - Tom Morello, Serj Tankian, Tim McIlrath

We are the 99%,
The Ordinary Joe and Jill,
Who pump the Gas and Wipe the (Gl)ass
Of them that live on the hill.

It is a fact we pay more tax,
Then the privileged few.
The One percent who own the wealth,
who earn a dollar for every cent we do.

We are the 99%
We man the tills,
We pay the Bills,
We obey the Laws, We fight the wars,
We are Cyber serf, insurance clerk,
Civil servant, and We're nurse,
Who curse them that say,
We should accept less pay,
To balance the books of banks and crooks,
who caused the crash to extract more cash
from a system that doesn't work.

We are the 99%
We help countries across the sea,
We bail out Banks and Government Trusts,
When foreclosure and Redundancy come Who will bail out us?

We are the 99%,
The Ordinary Joe and Jill,
Who pump the Gas and Wipe the (Gl)ass
Of them that live on the hill.
