Wretches and Kings Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There's [Am]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

[Interlude 1]
And you've got to make it stop
[Am]

[Verse 2]
To save [Am]face, how low can you go?
Talk a lotta game,
but yet you don't know
Static on the way make us all say whoa
The people up top push
the people [Bb]down low
[Am]Get down, and obey every word
Steady, get in line if you
haven't yet heard
[Bb]Wanna [Am]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 [Bb]everything [Am]outta control,

[Interlude 2]
now everybody go
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, [Am]hey, [Dm]hey, hey, hey, hey
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Steel unload, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings, we come for you

[Verse 5]
So [Am]keep pace, how slow can you go?
Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don't know
Fire on the way make you all say whoa
The [Dm]people up top [Am]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 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 [Bb]control,
[Am]now everybody go

[Interlude 3]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, [Am]hey, hey, [Dm]hey, hey, hey
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]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 [Dm]sun shall beat onto y[Bb]ou

[Interlude 4]
[Bb][Am]

[Verse 8]
From the [Am]front to the back and to side to side
If you fear what I feel,
put 'em up real high
Front to the [G#]back [Am]and the side to side
If you fear what I [Dm]feel,
put 'em [Am]up r[Dm]eal high[Am]
[Bb]Front to the back and the [Am]side to side
If you fear what I feel,
put 'em up real high
[Bb]Front to the back and the [Am]side to side
If you fear what I feel,
[Bb]put 'em up real high
Front [Am]to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel,
put 'em up real high
[Bb]Front to the back [Am]and the side to side
If you fear what I feel,
[Dm]put 'em up real [Bb]high

[Verse 9]
When the operation of [Am]the machine
becomes so odious
Makes you so [F]sick [Am]at heart,
that you can't take part
You can't even passively take part
[Bb]And you've got to put your[Am] bodies upon
the gears and upon the wheels
Upon [Bb]the levers, upon all the apparatu[Am]s,
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,

[Verse 10]
the machine will be prevented from working at all
[Bb]Hey, [Am]hey, hey,
hey, hey, [Bb]hey, hey[Am]

[Outro 1]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Am]
[Am]
