Mike Guldin - One Percent Lyrics

Amazon pays no taxes yet the rich man he cries poor
We need to fire congress and show them all the door
The shutdown emptied my pockets and my money's all been spent
Scratching out a living cause I ain't that one percent

Prices keep on rising while the rich men speculate
It ain't too hard to see that the man is on the take
The bank called the note on the family home I asked for help from the government
They said I'd like to help you son but you ain't that one percent

The rich just keep getting richer on the backs of the middle class
They want us to believe that the American dream will last
Well, this ain't the dream I was thinking of when I signed up for this deal
Now I'm living out on the streets begging for my next meal

Folks have taken to the streets because the status quo won't fly
If we don't stand up and plead our case we'll get a smaller piece of the pie
If Robin Hood were alive today he'd come to our defense
And take back all of our money, back from that one percent

And when we finally meet our maker sweet revenge is what we'll get
Cause the devil will be waiting, waiting on the one percent
