Lyrics
Hey there Mr. One Percent
Is your compassion spent
On only you and only yours
Hey there Mr. One Percent
Do you think you're Heaven-sent?
Do you think it's self-evident
That we are yours to ignore
How can you believe
How can you deceive yourself
Have you no goals to achieve
Have you no pain to relieve
For no one but yourself ?
Hey there Mr. One Percent
No need for you to pay your own rent
No need for you to repent
Your sins are all your own
Hey there Mr. One Percent
Now that you've bought the fucking government
And you've locked up all the dissidents
There's no need to atone
How can you believe
How can you deceive yourself
Have you no goals to achieve
Have you no pain to relieve
For no one but yourself ?
I don't wanna be
In this reality TV show any more
I don't wanna be
In this reality TV show any more
