1% Alive

Equality beat my tongue into submission
A mission very alive against prejudice
Rosary beads don’t preserve rights
Value silly hale Mary options
Insignificant change
Terms defied

Past to present
Comparison manipulation
Improper words used to define
An imperfect selfish itinerary
1% representation ruled us
But that was yesterday

The eternal puzzle of equality
Beat my mind into submission
Why doesn’t it exist perplexes
Capitalism complex democracy
The answer is a lying show

Past to present
Comparison manipulation
Improper words used to define
An imperfect selfish itinerary
1% representation rules 99
But that was yesterday

Bank slavery is
It is a matter of living or dying
Street beggar repossessed our lives
Bank bailouts surpass our safety
They say we have from terrorism
When we live in fear daily
Slaving away for dust
