[Verse 1]
AmJournalists in jail covering the scenes
    G                           Am                   G  AmThe profit columns rise for the corporate machines
AmTake the stand now, protest and holler
   G                            Am                 G  AmDesecration of the land for the almighty dollar


[Chorus]
Am99 Percent
Am99 Percent
       GIt's a trickle-down world
            AmLike you're stuck in cement
D                     Cadd2 GImbalance hangs over
G                    G Cadd2The 99 is down here
D                     Cadd2 GImbalance hangs over

[Verse 2]
AmThey can fill up the jails but it won't make a dent
      G                           Am                  G  AmThose sins don't wash away in the sea of discontent
AmAlready spent, already spent
   G                            Am             G  AmNo way to get ahead 'cause it's already spent
Am                         AmWith no spot at the table, hopes and dreams have died
    G                    AmThe 99 Percent have been taken for a ride


[Chorus]
D                     Cadd2 GImbalance hangs over
G                    G Cadd2The 99 is down here
D                     Cadd2 GImbalance hangs over
G                    Cadd2   AmThe 99 is down here
Am              Am99 percent, 99 percent
        G                                              AmIt’s a trickle-down world like you’re stuck in cement
Am              Am99 percent, 99 percent
        G                                              AmIt’s a trickle-down world like you’re stuck in cement
