Opening with political activist Mario Savio's famous 'Bodies Upon the Gears' 1964 address ("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"), the song breaks into a full-disgruntled effort, with low-register, looping electro-beats helmed by Joe Hahn.
Mike Shinoda even comfortably slides back into his heavy rapping-role, despicably delivering lines of communist hysteria: "Don't fight the power, nobody gets hurt / If you haven't heard yet, then I'm letting you know, there ain't shit / We don't run when the guns are low / And no one make a move unless my people say so / Got everything out of control."
