"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 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 then I'm letting you know
There ain't sh*t 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 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 sh*t 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 sh*t 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 unload final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you
Steel unload fire blow
Filthy animals beat them low
Skin and bone black and blue
No more this sun shall beat unto you
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em 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 "
