[Intro: Mario Savio]

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!

[Verse: Burton C. Bell]

I've felt darkness

Closing in on me

Chilling shadows

Surrounding me

I've had the poison

Leak into my skin

And it corroded

My heart away

Bled away

Cut away

Dark night of my soul

Dark night of my soul

Dark night of my soul

Dark night of my soul

[Outro: Mario Savio]

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!
