The 99

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Journalists in jail covering the scenes The profit columns rise for the corporate machines Take the stand now, protest and holler Desecration of the land for the almighty dollar [Chorus] Ninety-Nine Percent Ninety-Nine Percent It's a trickle-down world Like you're stuck in cement Imbalance hangs over The Ninety-Nine is down here Imbalance hangs over The Ninety-Nine is down here [Verse 2] They can fill up the jails but it won't make a dent Those sins don't wash away in the sea of discontent Already spent, already spent No way to get ahead 'cause it's already spent With no spot at the table, hopes and dreams have died The Ninety-Nine Percent have been taken for a ride [Chorus] Imbalance hangs over The Ninety-Nine is down here Imbalance hangs over The Ninety-Nine is down here Ninety-Nine Percent Ninety-Nine Percent It's a trickle-down world Like you're stuck in cement Ninety-Nine Percent Ninety-Nine Percent It's a trickle-down world Like you're stuck in cement
