lyrics

A friend said to me,
"You gotta check these thieves
They got a good living on them"
the way they play the system

Got loaded off to jail
And we all made their bail
'Cause we let them play – the system

Do what you are told
They got bankers on the dole
and judges who sold their souls
"Hey! Let's all play the system!

They're buying up the books
they're legalizing crooks
Always trying to play the system

Don't make one false move
you'll find it unapproved
Nobody gives you very much room
when you live inside the system

They're starting up again
their propagandized ways
They're gonna change the rules
they cheat but do not choose -
to live inside the system

Don't we get screwed by the system?
Yes we get screwed by the system
I think it's time we change the system
If not we're damned by the system
Cause it don't work for the 99
I wanna hear it for the 99
Hear me now 99 99 99
99, 99, 99 .... 99, 99, 99 ....
99, 99, 99 .... 99, 99, 99 ....
I'm proud to be, part of the 99
I'm proud to be down with the 99
Say, what about you? What about you?
Are you proud to be, down with the 99?
Can I get a witness?
