The song "Wretches and Kings" is from Linkin Park's forth album A Thousand Suns. It quotes Mario Savio, who was an American political activist and a key member in the Berkeley Free Speech Movement. His famous speech "Bodies upon the gears" is added in the start and end of the song. He gave that speech on December 2, 1964.
The paragraph of the speech added in the song is:
"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!"
The song is about the pain of the workers and motivating them to stand and fight as they are made to work repetitively in factories.
