Wretches and Kings lyrics

"There's a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious

Makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part

you can't even passively take part

And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels

upon the levers

upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop!"

To save face, how low can you go?

Talk a lot of game, but yet you don't know

Static on the way, makes us all say whoa!

The people up top push the people down low

Get down, and obey every word

Steady, get in line if you haven't yet heard

Wanna take what I got, don't be absurd

Don't fight the power, nobody gets hurt

If you haven't heard yet, then I'm lettin' you know

There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload

And no one make a move, unless my people say so

Got everything outta control, now everybody go

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

still unload, final blow

we the animals take control

Hear us now, clear and true

Wretches and kings, we come for you

So keep face, how slow can you go?

Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don't know

Fire on the way, makes you all say whoa!

The people up top and the people down low

Get down, and I'm runnin' it like that

The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at

Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat

The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact

So get with the combat, I'm lettin' them know

There ain't shit you can say to make me back down, no

So push the button, let the whole thing blow

Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

still unload, final blow

we the animals take control

hear us now, clear and true

wretches and kings we come for you

still unload,fight our blow

Filthy animals beat down low

Skin and bone, black and blue

No more the sun shall beat down for you

From the front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

"When the operation of the machine becomes so odious

makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part

you can't even passively take part

and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels

upon the levers,

upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop!

and you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it

that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
