Текст Vienna Teng – In The 99

Am I the one to praise?

Collide with faces veiled in paper
Reading line by line the pain there
But for the grace of code and capital

So why am I the one to praise?

Calculate the Ponzi pension to avoid
Unintended consequences of a choice
Now am I so confident I am the one
Earning every pretty sum and deserving every toy
Am I selling broken bonds or innovation?
Someone’s yelling get a job out of a Lincoln
But the human microphone will find a voice
And a change is gonna come, said the signal
To the –

Remind me in my western chamber
What this plan’s designed to save here
I haven’t come to say I’m sorry
But I swear I’m on your side

Oh I am not the one who preys

Betting on the best semesters you can buy
Digging out of debt, sequestered, unemployed
Underwater empty nesters in a slum
Television for the bums, helicopter for the boys
Marketplace of multi-culti competition
Building out the fossil fracking operation
Careful of a bird blacker than a swan
’cause a change is gonna come, said the signal
To the noise

Were you never in the 99?

Am I the one to praise?

Collide with faces veiled in paper
Reading line by line the pain there
I haven’t come to say I’m sorry
But I swear I’m on your side

We are ever in the 99
