Lyrics

21% of the world lives on less than 3 dollars a day
That's over a billion people struggling to survive
Tw-tw-tw-twenty-one percent
Every city every town the story's the same
Some rise to power others bear the blame
The gap grows wider the struggle's real
A child cries for food a billionaire seals the deal
Tw-tw-tw-twenty-one percent
They wake and fight just to live another day
Tw-tw-twenty-one percent
Still hungry still waiting
While the one percent keeps taking
Tw-tw-twenty-one percent
They toil they bleed
While the rich count their greed
In the last 30 years the wealthiest 1% has doubled its share of the global economy
One-one-one percent takes it all
A factory worker breathes toxic air
A CEO flies in a private jet without a care
The farmer's crop is stolen by the storm
While stocks rise high in a corporate reform
They promise aid they send their checks
But it trickles down just a fraction at best
The cycle spins the machine won't stop
The twenty-one remain at the bottom not the top
Tw-tw-twenty-one percent
Still hungry still waiting
While the one percent keeps taking
Tw-tw-twenty-one percent
They toil they bleed
While the rich count their greed
We build their towers we clean their streets
Our sweat their profit our dreams incomplete
The system is broken but is change on its way?
Tw-tw-twenty-one percent
Their story isn't over yet
