C                 G
There's a trouble in the air,
   F               C
A rumble in the streets,
C               G
A going out of business sale
       F               G
And a race to bankruptcy.
C             G        F     C
It's not 1 to 99, it's 99 to 1,
C                     G
A common cause and a call to arms
         F                      G
For the health of our daughters and our sons

Chorus:
     C       F         G
It's 99 revolutions tonight
C G     F         G
99 revolutions tonight
C       F         G
99 revolutions tonight
C G     F         G
99 revolutions tonight

There's a rat in the company
A bailout on easy street
How the fuck did the working stiff
Become so obsolete?
Hit the lights and bang the drum
And let your flag unfold
Cause history will prove itself
In the halls of justice and lost souls

Chorus

    F
We live in troubled times,
                                       C
from the ghettos to an empty suburban home
    F
We live in troubled times
                       G
and I'm 99% sure that something's wrong
It's all wrong

Chorus - x2

9-9 to 1
To one
