One Percent

from Hauntology by Bill White

/

lyrics

Most every day at the city center
You get a chance to become
a significant member
Of what they used to call the ninety nine
They don’t have many brains
at the ends of their spines
But that never stopped an illiterate mob
From stacking ideas like a shish kabob
And comparing their relative poverty
With the bank accounts of the powers that be
But every disinherited one gets more to eat
Than the Indians down on Yesler Street
And if you look at it all with a global intent
You see that even the bums are in the one percent
Worldwide that is
Compared to the Ethiopians
Hooverville is like Beverly Hills
Without the swimming pools
Now you are the One percent
