Wretches And Kings Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Guy1 

Cover art for Wretches And Kings lyrics by Linkin Park

"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 wind make 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 than I'm letting you know There ain't shit we don't run when guns unload And no one make a move 'less my people say so Got everything under control, now everybody go

Steel unload, 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 high hat The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact

So get with the combat, I'm letting them know There ain't shit you could say to make me back down low So push the button, let the whole thing blow Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go

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

Steel unload, final blow Filthy animals beat them low Skin and bone, black and blue No more this sun shall beat onto you

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

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

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

"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"
