This song is blunter in its lyrical content than many other Mercer tunes. The lyrics point fairly clearly to an unfair balance of power (1% vs 99%), shown by the "tiny few" that "catch all of the rays/have all of the fun". Meanwhile, from the point of view of the 99-percenter "born with blood on (his) hands" the song's point of view seems to be written from, the situation seems to be more dire than those in power seem to recognize ("invisible slaves").
