Cruelty and greed and execution Haunt a hunted people drowning in debt As puppet masters gather now for how To vow to hold us down no matter what Some of us who should remember forgot Frightened old white men grabbing all they can Taking so much they are breaking us now Calling all the rest un-American Turning a blind eye to those left behind Warring on the poor according to plan Exploitation without explanation Nor does it matter to them if we mind Taxation without representation Enforced by bread and circuses and yet Some of us who could see would rather not But eyes kept in the dark now realize Their hope out in the park to their surprise Now beholding the lotus unfolding Coming to us becoming you and me As the ninety-nine percent solution Held down long enough we who would be free Opening now to see revolution +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
