Vienna Teng - In The 99 lyrics

Am I the one to praise? Collide with faces veiled in paper Reading line by line the pain there But for the grace of code and capital We’d cry out side by side So why am I the one to praise? Calculate the Ponzi pension to avoid Unintended consequences of a choice Now am I so confident I am the one Earning every pretty sum and deserving every toy Am I selling broken bonds or innovation? Someone’s yelling get a job out of a Lincoln But the human microphone will find a voice And a change is gonna come, said the signal To the – Remind me in my western chamber What this plan’s designed to save here I haven’t come to say I’m sorry But I swear I’m on your side Oh I am not the one who preys Betting on the best semesters you can buy Digging out of debt, sequestered, unemployed Underwater empty nesters in a slum Television for the bums, helicopter for the boys Marketplace of multi-culti competition Building out the fossil fracking operation Careful of a bird blacker than a swan 'cause a change is gonna come, said the signal To the noise Were you never in the 99? You are ever in the 99 We are ever in the 99 We are ever in the 99 Am I the one to praise? Collide with faces veiled in paper Reading line by line the pain there I haven’t come to say I’m sorry But I swear I’m on your side We are ever in the 99
