lyrics

WE ARE THE 99

If you wanna know the score
Well just you look around
See what we’ve become
And the devastation we have found

You know my babies they are crying
Cause my children are not fed
And my home it is a crumbling
Cause I cannot pay the rent

And who decided one is all that matters
And that nothing else counts anymore
But you can’t ever forget the 99
If you wanna make a world worth living for

Seems my job’s no longer working
Here in the USA
It’s gone overseas to someone else
Who has to work for far less pay

And my government is broken
Held hostage by the CEO’s
Who decided I was no longer
Worth paying anymore

But who said one is all that matters
And that nothing else counts anymore
But don’t you forget the 99
If you wanna make a world worth living for

So who’s to say what’s the answer
To all these problems that we face
With an economy in ruin
And an environment that we’ve laid to waste

Well it is you and me that matters
Cause we are the 99
So let’s stand up together
And together we will all find

That one is not all that matters
Cause you know we all still count for more
Yeah we are the 99
We’re the ones who will save this world
And make it worth living for
