verse 1 
Am 
Journalists in jail covering the scenes 
    G                           Am                   G  Am 
The profit columns rise for the corporate machines 
Am 
Take the stand now, protest and holler 
   G                            Am                 G  Am 
Desecration of the land for the almighty dollar

99 Percent

99 Percent 
       G 
It's a trickle-down world 
            Am 
Like you're stuck in cement 
D                     Cadd2 G 
Imbalance hangs over 
G                    G Cadd2 
The 99 is down here 
D                     Cadd2 G 
Imbalance hangs over 
G                    Cadd2   Am 
The 99 is down here

verse 2 
Am 
They can fill up the jails but it won't make a dent 
      G                           Am                  G  Am 
Those sins don't wash away in the sea of discontent 
Am 
Already spent, already spent 
   G                            Am             G  Am 
No way to get ahead 'cause it's already spent 
Am                         Am 
With no spot at the table, hopes and dreams have died 
    G                    Am 
The 99 Percent have been taken for a ride 

D                     Cadd2 G 
Imbalance hangs over 
G                    G Cadd2 
The 99 is down here 
D                     Cadd2 G 
Imbalance hangs over 
G                    Cadd2   Am 
The 99 is down here 
Am              Am 
99 percent, 99 percent 
        G                                              Am 
It’s a trickle-down world like you’re stuck in cement 
Am              Am 
99 percent, 99 percent 
        G                                              Am 
It’s a trickle-down world like you’re stuck in cement
