And workers in your shop; G C G D And all the laid-off folks who dread The day the checks will G stop; G D Employers paying three folks, Who used to employ ten; G C G D G We are the angry Ninety-nine, Marching once again. Refrain: C From Wall Street home to Main Street, shout loud the clear G refrain: G C G D G "They've socialized the losses, and privatized the gains!" G D The One-Percenters at the top, With greed their only aim, G C G D Have done their best to hide the way They’ve played their selfish G game. G D So secretly they’ve tweaked the rules, To keep us in the dark; G C G D G But now we’re waking from our sleep, And gathering in the park. Refrain When profits rise so high, you see, And wages stay so low, It’s obvious the powers that be Just don’t want us to know. As Joseph Stieglitz put it, In words so clear and plain, They socialize the losses, But privatize the gain. Refrain ©2011 Annie Storr & Bob Clayton And a half-fast performance is here: Socialize - Privatize on YouTube Enjoy! Bob Clayton |
