Wretches and Kings Lyrics - Linkin Park

1 ''There's a time

2 When the operation of the machine

3 Becomes so odious

4 Makes you so sick at heart

5 That you can't take part

6 You can't even passively take part

7 And you've got to put your bodies

8 Upon the gears and upon the wheels

9 Upon the levers, upon all the apparatus

10 And you've got to make it stop''

11 To save face, how low can you go?

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

13 Static on the way, make us all say whoa

14 The people up top push the people down low

15 Get down, and obey every word

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

17 Wanna take what I got? Don't be absurd

18 Don't fight the power, nobody gets hurt

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

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

21 And no one make a move 'less my people say so

22 Got everything outta control, now everybody go

23 Hey, hey, hey, hey

24 Hey, hey, hey, hey

25 Steel unload, final blow

26 We, the animals, take control

27 Hear us now, clear and true

28 Wretches and kings, we come for you

29 So keep pace, how slow can you go?

30 Talk a lot of shit, and yet, you don't know

31 Fire on the way, make you all say whoa

32 The people up top and the people down low

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

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

35 Somewhere in-between the kick and the hi-hat

36 The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact

37 So get with the combat, I'm lettin' 'em know

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

39 So, push the button, let the whole thing blow

40 Spinnin' everything outta control, now everybody go

41 Hey, hey, hey, hey

42 Hey, hey, hey, hey

43 Steel unload, final blow

44 We, the animals, take control

45 Hear us now, clear and true

46 Wretches and kings, we come for you

47 Steel unload, fire blow

48 Filthy animals, beat them low

49 Skin and bone, black and blue

50 No more this sun shall beat onto you

51 From the front to the back and the side-to-side

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

53 Front to the back and the side-to-side

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

55 Front to the back and the side-to-side

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

57 Front to the back and the side-to-side

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

59 Front to the back and the side-to-side

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

61 Front to the back and the side-to-side

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

63 ''When the operation of the machine

64 Becomes so odious

65 Makes you so sick at heart

66 That you can't take part

67 You can't even passively take part

68 And you've got to put your bodies

69 Upon the gears and upon the wheels

70 Upon the levers, upon all the apparatus

71 And you've got to make it stop

72 And you've got to indicate to the people

73 Who run it, to the people who own it

74 That unless you're free, the machine

75 Will be prevented from working at all''
