not the 99 - ryan parker lyrics

[chorus 1]
they want you to see one, but not the 99
they want you to believe our country’s on a steep decline
when you see a zebra, you think that it’s a horse
’cause their never*ending narrative is always reinforced
if they just tell the good news, you won’t give them your time
so they focus on the one, but not the 99

[verse 1]
white police k!ll blacks, blacks all commit crimes
if you’ve seen the news, we’re living in bad times
keep the people low, that keeps the ratings high
the powerful keep power when the bad is magnified

[chorus 2]
they want you to see one, but not the 99
they want you to believe that color of the skin defines
they’ll promote diseases, wars, and manufactured riots
’cause it doesn’t benefit their cause when everybody’s quiet
if they just tell the good news, you won’t give them your time
so they focus on the one, but not the 99

[verse 2]
coronavirus k!lls, but our life they made it seem
it’s hard to tell what’s real, and who is on your team
political persuasions seem to color all we hear
we have to differentiate between the facts and fear
[chorus 3]
they want you to see one but not the 99
everyone partic*p*tes ’cause everyone’s online
attention, cash, and power are among the motivations
it’s gone within an hour, so why not spread misinformation?
if they just tell the good news, you won’t give them your time
so they focus on the one, and not the 99
nothing grabs your eyeb*lls like a hook or a headline
so they focus on the one, and not the 99
