The One Percent

Grandpa can’t resist; he can’t turn off the box He’s watching all the people; being eaten by the fox Well it all went bad, when the Suitor got off script Now everybody’s praying for a dark horse candidate The video just went viral in my brain A thousand hits; and I ain’t feeling no pain Grumpy dog was mad, they left him at the park And asked Brontosaurus, for his room in the ark The science man had another plan And I would have watched, but my attention span… Twelve monkeys logged in and reserved the domain Five thousand hits, and I’m not feeling no pain He said, “Everybody wants, to tell you how to live When wrong and right is how many ‘Likes’ you can get And while I binge watched, Season 25 The 1% went to take over my life Stopping who gets to Mary and who gets to Jane Ten thousand hits, and I’m feeling no pain” We all had to work; to feed the 1% After they bought the roads; and the government The Tycoon turned to me and said When you have all the money, is it ever really spent? I went out and joined another campaign A million hits and I ain’t feeling no pain
