They build their castles, high in the sky While we’re down here, just trying to survive Gold-plated gates, they’ll never let us in They hold the keys, and the game’s rigged to win We toil and sweat, while they sleep in peace The world is burning, but they’re out of reach The one percent empire, sitting on their thrones They’ve taken the world and left us with stones Holding the riches, holding the crown While the rest of us crumble, they won’t come down One percent empire, ruling the land With power and greed, they’ve got it all in hand We fight their wars, and we pay the price For their luxury, while we roll the dice They pull the strings, we’re puppets on their stage Living in the shadows of a golden age The wealth’s divided, but not in our favor We’re just the fuel for their endless endeavor The one percent empire, sitting on their thrones They’ve taken the world and left us with stones Holding the riches, holding the crown While the rest of us crumble, they won’t come down One percent empire, ruling the land With power and greed, they’ve got it all in hand But one day the walls will fall The mighty towers, they’ll lose it all We’ll rise like fire, from the dirt below And take back the world they’ll never know The one percent empire, sitting on their thrones They’ve taken the world and left us with stones Holding the riches, holding the crown But we’ll rise from the ashes, and tear them down One percent empire, your time is at hand The people are rising, we’ll take back the land The one percent empire, will fall like sand And the world will be free, from their iron hand
