Maria - Rage Against The Machine

The sun ablaze as Maria’s foot touches the surface of sand

On northern land, as human contraband

Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss

She stuffed ten to a truckbed, she clutches her cross

Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs

She’s off fast to the pasture, like cattle she’ll cross

Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown

And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home

Of Yanqui guns for blood debts on the loans

Of smoldering fields rape rubble and bones

Of graves hidden trapped up in visions of war

Of nothing, no one, nobody, NO MORE!

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates.

Through history’s rivers of blood, she regenerates.

And like the sun disappears only to reappear.

She’s eternally here… her time is near

Never conquered but HERE.

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

And now she got a quota

The needle and thread crucifixion

Sold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon

Rippin’through denim the point an inch from her vein

The foreman approach, his steps now pound in her brain

His presence it terrifies and eclipses her days

No minutes to rest, no moment to pray

And with a whisper, he whips her, her soul chained to his will

My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill

Her arms jerks, the sisters gather round her and scream

As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream

Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to the floor

I am nothing, no one, nobody, NO MORE!

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates.

And through history’s rivers of blood, she regenerates.

And like the sun disappears only to reappear… Maria.

She’s eternally here… her time is near

Never conquered BUT HERE.

Ugh, TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

HA!

No minutes to rest.

No moment to pray.

No minutes to rest.

No moment to pray.

No minutes to rest.

It eclipses her day.

Just a moment to pray.

UGH!

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

Ugh, AWAY AT THA MASK!

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!
