From the recording We Are the 99%
I went to an Occupy Wall Street event in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was inspired to write this song the next morning while I was walking my dog.
Lyrics
We are the 99 Percent
We are the 99 percent
No turning back, the fuse is lit
We are the 99 percent
We are your neighbors, we are your friends
We are your husbands, we are your wives
Out of 100, we're 99
We are your parents and your kids too
We stand for them, we stand for you
And we declare our personhood
Commitment to the common good
We're human beings, not corporations
We are the soul of this great nation
We are the 99 percent
No turning back, the fuse is lit.
