99 Revolutions Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a trouble in the air, a rumble in the streets
A "going out of business" sale and a race to bankruptcy
It's not one to ninety-nine, it's ninety-nine to one
A common cause and a call to arms for the health of our daughters and our sons

[Chorus]
It's ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight

[Verse 2]
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]
It's ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight

[Bridge]
We live in troubled times
From the ghettos to an empty suburban home
We live in troubled times
And I'm ninety-nine percent sure that something's wrong
It's all wrong

[Chorus]
It's ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight
Ninety-nine revolutions tonight

[Outro]
Nine! Nine! To one! To one!
