Lyrics
Am G
the financial pirates are drowning / going down with the Euro
Am E7
but a bunch of clever people've moved to town
Am G
they set up their camp / on the streets of the Wall
Dm Am
and organised themselves / to turn a frown upside-down
--(solo)-- (Am G Am E7)
[refrain]
Am G
we got no jobs! / we got no jobs!
Am E7
we got no jobs / but the love goes around!
Am G
well, who needs a job? / who needs a job?
Am E7
wait! THIS is my job / spreading love all around!
--(solo)-- (Am G Am E7)
Am G
the pirates kept on drowning / they'd lost all they're worth
Am E7
the wealth of the nations / going down in the storm
Am G
the squeezing of the poor / must be put to an end
Dm Am
give us back our seeds! / let us grow how we wish
E7 Am
without the pestulence of Monsanto / without the poison in our fish
--(refrain)--
--(solo)-- (Am G Am E7)
[slowly]
Am G
We are 99% and we'll / take over the world!
Am E7
if we listen to each other / make sure everyone is heard
Am G
we'll prop this planet up / and distribute from below
Dm Am
the goods ALL need for living / without greed, you know -- dance!
--(solo)-- (Am G Am E7)
[clap]
--(refrain)--
