They hold the cards 5 percent in every hand
Shares in every corner they've mapped out the land
No need for mergers they already own the field
Companies fight but it's profits they yield
They play the game stacking stocks like bricks
While we're left picking crumbs from their tricks
From Amazon to Nike every lane they pave
But it's our sweat that builds their corporate grave
Universal ownership the silent decree
Locked in the system no way to break free
Profits rise but the wages stay flat
While the big three stack cash like a welcome mat
No competition just puppet strings pulled tight
They rig the game and we're losing the fight
Stock in every corner cash in every pot
The world they own but it's our dreams they've bought
They're universal owners controlling the board
Every company every dollar they hoard
No way to escape no way to compete
Their monopoly's silent but the loss is complete
Vanguard and State Street all in the mix
A trifecta of power pulling all the tricks
Own a slice of every pie but never bake
Sitting back as companies bend and break
No need to merge no buyouts to see
When you own the stock you run the company
Shareholders lost in the shuffle and trade
While we struggle they sharpen the blade
Amazon's theirs even Bezos can't win
When BlackRock's fingers are deep in the skin
5 percent might sound like a whisper in the room
But it's enough to control every boardroom
Every vote cast in quiet backdoor deals
While we feel the burn they rake in the steals
Universal owners locked into the sky
We hold the labor but it's they who fly
They're universal owners controlling the board
Every company every dollar they hoard
No way to escape no way to compete
Their monopoly's silent but the loss is complete
From Nike to Lululemon they own the whole show
Whether one wins or loses they'll still grow
No competition just profit and greed
It's all for their gains no matter the need
They hold us hostage with votes in hand
Shaping the world by their quiet command
A neo-monopoly without the merger's bite
They control every step from day to night
And when it's time to cash in the checks
It's the people left broken drowning in debts
But who's gonna stop them when they hold the reigns?
Our wallets are empty but they collect gains
The system's rigged and they know it too well
Welcome to the world where only they excel
Universal owners locked in every deal
But we're the ones left with nothing to feel
They're universal owners controlling the board
Every company every dollar they hoard
No way to escape no way to compete
Their monopoly's silent but the loss is complete
Locked in chains but they hold the key
Universal ownership profiting endlessly
