They think they own the land!
They don't.
They think they own the water!
They don't.
They think they own the energy!
They don't.

They think they own you and I!
They don't.

A doomed aristocrat once said,
β€œLet them eat cake!”
As the poor starved in the street

Her head was sent to the basket

We the 99% stand up in reply,

LET THEM EAT PAPER!

We produce the goods
We work the fields
We run the grid
We police the streets
We create the wealth of the Earth
We destroy the greedy and self-serving
We can take care of ourselves

LET THEM EAT PAPER!
