Marcel Cartier - 99 to 1 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook x2]

The change in the air, I know you can feel it
And occupy the hood, liberate your spirit
The people united will never be defeated
Brand new society you know that we need it

[Verse 1 : Marcel Cartier]

They said we were passive, said we ain't care
They thought we were cool with this state of affairs
But little did they know, we would rise from sleep
No longer subservient within this beast
A tiny minority controls our lives
That's why the people now screaming "Occupy!"
The fight is for genuine democracy
For workers and all to at last be free
They tell this is ablation of freedom
But that contradicts everything that I'm seeing
And that's why I'm speaking and why I fight
To extend and achieve our most basic rights
The rulers are scared of our organization
Respond with the police brutalization
But in the long run they cannot suppress
When millions are out and fight for justice!

[Hook x2]

Some people say that the change will never come
But what if revolution's already begun?
We refuse any longer to live in these slums
And we outnumber them 99 to 1

[Verse 2 : Marcel Cartier]

Yo!
A much better world that's potential to grow
Right now what we're seeing is the embryo
We got every single right to rise on up
These criminal billionaires' time is up!
Our strength is in numbers across the country
No longer should any of us go hungry
Or be unemployed with a college degree
Matter of fact, shouldn't education be free?
Isn't that a most basic human right?
Why I really gotta choose between food and a life?
Why I really gotta stress about my doctor bills
When I know my tax dollars are going to kill
Or go to a bankers' private account
Got a whole system that needs to be extort
We will occupy together New-York to LA
And we will set forth and see a much brighter day


[Hook x2]

Some people say that the change will never come
But what if revolution's already begun?
We refuse any longer to live in these slums
And we outnumber them 99 to 1
