Wretches & Kings

*Mario Savio speech*

There's a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so obvious.

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!

 

Mike:

To save face, how low can you go?

Talk a lotta game, but yet you don't know.

Static on the wind, 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

 

Band:

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

 

Chester:

Feel alone, final blow

We, the animals, take control

Hear us now, ??????

Wretches and Kings, we come for you

 

Mike:

So keep face, how slow can you go?

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

Fire on the wind, 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.

 

Band:

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

 

Chester:

Feel alone, final blow

We, the animals, take control

Hear us now, ?????

Wretches and Kings, we come for you

Still alone, fight our blow

Filthy animals beat down low

Steel and bone, black and blue

?????, We come for you

 

Mike:

From the front to the back and to side to side

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

And you've got to indicate to the people, run in to the people on it.

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

Nice, Thank you! I think the unknown part, "Here us now, ???" might be "clear and tall"

I'm glad they've backed up one of the main selling points of the album with this song - that they're capable of making a heavy song without big, distorted guitars. In fact, there may not even be any guitar in this song, or if there is, it's over-effected to the point that it doesn't really sound like guitar at all.

 

The only thing I don't like is how most of the music drops out before the "hey hey hey" part, it's an unexpected surprise the first time you hear it, but on subsequent listens, it kind of kills the momentum that builds up in Mike's verses.

I wish they would've went straight to the "Hey" part for the second prechorus.

 

That is literally my only complaint with this song.
