We do this dance every night and it always ends the same
With you in tears and I'm wondering how we got ourselves into this
How were we supposed to know we bought a house made of tulips?
And when the bad wolf come 'round, well it all just gets blown to bits
You see, I am 99
This song is not mine alone, they sing the same tune next door
And as you go up the street, well the choir, it becomes a roar
They sing a song for what is fair, they sing a song for what's just
As the sun, well it does set, over all the bible and rust
You see, I am 99
Tell me what is it worth?
For all you haves and have mores
We all know you're a king, there's no doubt about that
How does it feel being a king in a castle full of rats?
And we all know you love your cake, well it's rotted your teeth
Let all ye behold now, look upon the smile of the thief
You see, I am 99
