Ninety Nine

Lyrics

Held down by the weight of absent coin Confined by the absence of wealth The muted feud each other to stay afloat Conflicted with convictions to make the most We're left to wonder if opportunity will outlast empathy We're left to wonder if our economy will outlast prophecy I've got a message for you And its justified by the nine to five We've got the message for you And its justified by the ninety-nine So tip the scale back our way So we may know what it is to be heard We've got the message for you You can not deny the ninety-nine Unlike the higher we'd lift the veil from the acquired Forge the cowards from their desks Now heed this warning before the stricken revolt I've got a message for you And its justified by the nine to five We've got the message for you And its justified by the ninety-nine So tip the scale back our way So we may know what it is to be heard We've got the message for you You can not deny the ninety-nine When man's worth is reflective of his work the state will be revived While the gluttons burn alive Those who pay it forward are the ones who truly keep the world afloat I've got a message for you And its justified by the nine to five We've got the message for you And its justified by the ninety-nine So tip the scale back our way So we may know what it is to be heard We've got the message for you You can not deny the ninety-nine
