Lyrics
  • Part of the 99
  • By Paul Reisler with Terri Allard and Ms. Murray’s 3
  • rd
  • grade,
  • Woodbrook
  • Elementary School
  • Some people have it all
  • But they still don’t think that they have enough
  • They want more money
  • A faster ride
  • They’re not content
  • Never satisfied
  • Yes – they’re the 1 percent
  • I used to be one of the 1 percent
  • I worked all the time
  • Never saw my family
  • Couldn’t
  • make life
  • rhyme
  • Then the bubble burst
  • It really, really hurt
  • I lost my money
  • L
  • ost my pride
  • L
  • ost my home
  • Now I’m part of the 99
  • Some people have it all
  • But they still don’t think that they have enough
  • They want more money
  • A faster ride
  • They’re not content
  • Never satisfied
  • Yes – they’re the 1 percent
  • I used to be sad now I’m satisfied
  • ‘Cause I really have enough
  • Though I lost my
  • yacht and plane
  • Didn’t need that extra stuff
  • Could have been much worse
  • You don’t
  • need to be first
  • ‘Cause I’ve
  • got
  • my
  • friends
  • Here
  • by
  • my
  • side
  • Don’t need
  • it all
  • I’m happy to be part of the 99
  • Some people have it all
  • But they still don’t think that they have enough
  • They want more money
  • A faster ride
  • They’re not content
  • Never satisfied
  • Yes – they’re the 1 percent
  • They’re the 1
  • percent,
  • They’re the 1 percent
