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
