One Percent Lyrics

[Intro]
So apparently, there are two sets of rules for the people in this country
One set for the ultra-wealthy, and the other set for the average citizen
Cause the shit they got away with, if we'd have done its equivalent
They'd've locked our asses up

[Verse 1]
I don't believe the malarkey spewed by the oligarchy
Guess if you're rich and I'm poor then it makes it cool to mock me
I also love the way they scream out "class warfare"
The moment that we notice you're taking way more than your share (you see?)
These politicians always playing down your influence
Thinking that I'm stupid but truth is I'm seeing right through it
These mogul masters of the universe are lording over resources
Leaving the rest of us with no recourses (got enough)
So I don't want to hear you talk about a "class war"
Until you see us mad enough to ratchet up and break jaws
Until us savages start ravaging your palaces
And greet you in the street then beat your ass and take your packages
Until that happens all of this is only conversation (that's all)
Remember your station's predicated on the people's patience
And their decision to wallow in all the ignorance
And pacify themselves with distraction so they don't give a shit

[Chorus]
Hey stupid - you really think they care about you?
You think they'd shed a single tear inside their beer without you
Hey stupid - I think you're lacking common sense
You're only really here to benefit the one percent
Hey stupid - that's right you said that you ignore them
But that don't matter cause you still be bending over for them
Hey stupid - you might want an investigation
To find out how they always killing you with legislation

[Verse 2]
The middle class is so violently getting smashed While these wily politicians bend over to kiss the ass
Of their corporate masters those bastards that spend a lot of millions
Sometimes I picture them swirling their mustaches like villains
I'm not feeling the optics of this sick demented scenario
Outsourcing occupations disrupt all the cash flow
It's probably a fact that none of these jobs are coming back
Financially trapped while the wealthy count all their money stacks
What kind of businessman puts money on a campaign
Unless they just investing on some shit they plan to maintain
No need to imagine or go invent conspiracies
To make the observations on some shit that we can clearly see
f*ck all that patriotic rhetoric they feeding you
And really take a look at the current system that's bleeding you
The people that cheated were classified too big to fail
And all of you got mad but not one of them f*ckers went to jail

[Chorus]
Hey stupid - you really think they care about you?
You think they'd shed a single tear inside their beer without you
Hey stupid - I think you're lacking common sense
You're only really here to benefit the one percent
Hey stupid - that's right you said that you ignore them
But that don't matter cause you still be bending over for them
Hey stupid - you might want an investigation
To find out how they always killing you with legislation

[Outro: George Carlin]
Forget the politicians, the politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice - you don't
You have no choice; you have owners, they own you
They own everything, they own all the important land
They got you by the balls!
It's a big club - and you ain't in it!
