Wretches & 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. 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" -Mario Savio 

To save face / how low can you go 
Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know 
Static on the way / make us all say whoa 
The people up top push the people down low 
Get down 
And obey every word 
Steady getting mine 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 letting 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 

Steel alone / final blow 
We the animals take control 
Hear us now / clear and true 
Wretches and kings we come for you 

So keep pace / how slow can you go 
Talk a lot of shit and yet you don't know 
Fire on the way / make you all say whoa 
The people up top and the people down low 


Get down 
And I'm running 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 letting 'em 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 

Steel alone / final blow 
We the animals take control 
Hear us now / clear and true 
Wretches and kings we come for you 
Steel alone / fire blow 
Filthy animals / beat them low 
Skin and bone / black and blue 
No more this sun shall beat onto you 

From the front to the back and the side to side 
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
