"There's a time when the operation of the machineBecomes 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 gearsAnd 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 goTalk a lot of game but yet you don't knowStatic on the way / make us all say whoaThe people up top push the people down lowGet down and obey every wordSteady getting mine if you haven't yet heardWanna take what I got, don't be absurdDon't fight the power nobody gets hurtIf you haven't heard yet then I'm letting you knowThere ain't shit we don't run when the guns unloadAnd no one make a move unless my people say soGot everything outta control, now everybody goHey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heySteel unload, final blowWe the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and trueWretches and kings we come for youSo keep pace, how slow can you goTalk a lot of shit and yet you don't knowFire on the way, make you all say whoaThe people up top and the people down lowGet down and I'm running it like thatThe front of the attack is exactly where I'm atSomewhere in between the kick and the hi hatThe pen and the contract, the pitch and the contactSo get with the combat, I'm letting 'em knowThere ain't shit you can say to make me back down noSo / push the button let the whole thing blowSpinning everything outta control, now everybody goHey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heyFeel unload, final blowWe the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and trueWretches and kings we come for youSteel unload, fire blowFilthy animals, beat them lowSkin and bone, black and blueNo more this sun shall beat onto youFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real highFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real highFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real highFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real highFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real highFrom the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put 'em up real high"When the operation of the machineBecomes 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 gearsAnd 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 SavioHey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
