(Speech 1)
You ever hear something that makes you say hmm?
Well I was told that my bank needs a bailout
That's right you heard me
The same bank that's charging me told hold my money
That's no joke but you can laugh if you find it funny
(Chorus)
I see it's green on their side as I look over the fence
Got my back against the wall
I'm the 99%
99%
I'm the 99%
Got my back against the wall I'm the 99%
(Verse 1)
If ever the times right
I tell you the times now
Let your voices be heard loud
You tell them proud
Nope no more, no more
Taking taxes from the poor
Just to hand them to the rich
So my monies spent
Without me giving consent
So now I stand with the 99%
While the other 1% seems to run the government
Politicians seem confused don't know who to represent
Either that or their intentions are bad
They say they need a bailout
That's right bailout the banks
I know I'm good at painting pictures
But I'm drawing a blank
(Chorus)
I see it's green on their side as I look over the fence
Got my back against the wall
I'm the 99%
99%
I'm the 99%
Got my back against the wall I'm the 99%
(Verse 2)
I figured I'd meet them on wall street
To see what their saying
It's hard to believe
That these banks keep charging us fees
I know nothing in life is free
So their taking a piece of that government cheese
While the country bleeds
And they're not even bankers
Their banksters
Gangsters in a suit and tie
Tricked us with the perfect crime
Guess no one saw the signs
Of some loans they call sub prime
So no one's serving time
For some crimes they committed
Now we're dealing with some thieves
Well a shall I proceed
In deed some feel the need for greed
Documents in small print make it hard to read
But easy to mislead
It's almost hard to believe
How many tricks are up their sleeve?
Hmmmm I wonder
(Chorus)
I see it's green on their side as I look over the fence
Got my back against the wall
I'm the 99%
99%
I'm the 99%
Got my back against the wall I'm the 99%
(Verse 3)
Well who isn't stressing over fears of recession
Really hope you learned your lesson
Expect the unexpected
When these thieves talk investing
I can't even trust the news
There's to many different views
Too easy to get confused
And these commentators
Claim they got the latest
If we listen they can save us
Even though they still blame us
Some claim they got the facts
Make up poll numbers just to show the stats
So if these politicians paying
Then their rising in the polls
Hope you buy what their saying
Cause their selling their souls
And it won't take a change of weather
Just to know that they cold
(Chorus)
I see it's green on their side as I look over the fence
Got my back against the wall
I'm the 99%
99%
I'm the 99%
Got my back against the wall I'm the 99%
(Speech 2)
I'm tired of being tired
I'm sick of being sick
Politicians debating over health care that they have
So now our needs don't fit the budget
Because their doing the math
So now we all get to watch the decline of the middle cla**
But don't fret though
Because no matter what they try and hide
The truth will always show
(Chorus)
I see it's green on their side as I look over the fence
Got my back against the wall
I'm the 99%
99%
I'm the 99%
Got my back against the wall I'm the 99%
