    Backstory:
    The one percent doesn't include her, but maybe that is OK.  She knows she won't ever be debt-free, as sure as God made this day.  The Round The Globe song was co-written by Clare Steffen (USA) and Raul Barba (Argentina) and is performed by Clare and produced by Raul.

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    V1 When I look back at a younger me I think I'm lucky to be alive I was too quick to take a dare And too often I did as I pleased I didn't want the nine to five It seemed like it was going nowhere Prechorus Maybe I could have lived a little smarter if Chorus I'd saved more here and there Great oaks from little acorns grow If only I'd had a bit more foresight And not lived moment to moment Sometimes I lived on a wing and a prayer I've been around long enough to know I ain't never gonna be part of the one percent V2 Not everything's meant to be owned I've got my eyes wide open If we don't pay attention They may try and get us all cloned No use in sittin' around mopin' I live hand to mouth on my pension Prechorus I'm not part of the one percent Chorus I'd saved more here and there Great oaks from little acorns grow If I'd only had a bit more foresight And not lived moment-to-moment Sometimes I lived on a wing and a prayer I've been around long enough to know I ain't never gonna be part of the one percent Outro The one percent doesn't include me But maybe that's OK I won't ever be debt-free As sure as God made this day
