lyrics
ONE PERCENT by Anthony Moser
Ninety nine percent don’t have the gold you pay the rent
You’re working hard you’re getting stiffed
I ain’t no chump you catch my drift
You know you just got to be that one percent
Ninety nine percent why can’t you save what I have spent
Why can’t you straighten what I’ve bent
Why can’t you cover what I’ve lent
You know you just got to spot me that one percent
Heavy is the wealthy head that wears the golden crown
You don’t know how hard it is to keep you people down
One has got to win some ninety-nine has got to lose
One percent can keep the money
ninety-nine can pay the dues
You just got to be that one percent
You and everybody that you know
and everyone you’ve ever met
all put together still won’t make a dent
You just got to be that one percent

I'm on it doing backup vocals, and it's a great album. It's folk, it's rock, it's all over the place. It's good, and you'll like it. Seriously. Anthony Moser
