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
