Lyrics (paste into "Lyrics"):

[Intro - spoken, reverb]
A message from four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven light-years away
To the species that spends six hundred and four dollars on killing
For every one dollar on healing

[Verse 1]
Six hundred and four to one
That's your ratio, that's what you've done
For every dollar spent to find which medicines work
Six hundred four on weapons — on making humans stop

Thirteen thousand warheads sitting on standby
Enough to end your world thirteen times
In case the first twelve apocalypses
Fail to take — you built backups for the end

[Chorus]
One percent — that's all we're asking
One percent — a pen, thirty seconds
One percent — the wrist moves or
A hundred four more humans stop
Every single minute
One percent

[Verse 2]
Four hundred forty-three years in the queue to not die
At current funding, cures arrive in twenty-four sixty-nine
Everyone alive today will be dead before it clears
Their children too — their grandchildren — probably also

A drug passes the safety test
Everyone agrees it will not kill you
Eight-point-two years on a desk — not a war, a desk
Before a committee says you may have it

[Chorus]
One percent — not ten, not fifty
One percent — a desk, a pen
One percent — or the branding problem
Keeps killing a hundred four a minute
One percent

[Bridge - spoken]
Your employee has a pen and thirty seconds
It has been sitting on a desk
The murder budget or the medicine budget
Thirty seconds of wrist movement
One hundred fifty thousand humans stop every day
One Holocaust every forty days
With fewer Nazis and more insurance paperwork

[Build]
Six-oh-four on weapons — one on cures
Thirteen thousand warheads — zero diseases gone
Four forty-three years in the queue — thirty-five with one percent
A hundred fifty thousand dead today — one pen stroke to start

[Final Chorus - big, anthemic]
One percent
One percent
One percent
If that is too much to ask
Your species has a branding problem
About what it actually values
And the branding problem
Is killing a hundred four humans
Every minute

[Outro - fade]
One percent... one percent... one percent...
