Journalists in jail covering the scenes

Like you're stuck in cement

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

The 99 Percent have been taken for a ride
