Intro:
Am Asus2 Am G Am


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

Chorus:

Am
99 Percent

Am
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


Chorus:

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
