without a face - rage against the machine
it seems as soon as the wall in germany fell,
that the us government was busy building another one
on the border between the us and mexico.
since 1986,
as a result of a lot of the hate talk
and hysteria that the government of
the united states has been speaking,
1500 bodies have been found on the border.
we wrote this song in response to it.
it's called without a face.
uh! i got no card so i got no soul
life in prison no parole no control
jura got my number on a wire tap'
cause i jack for similac' fuck a cadillac survive
one motive no hope
cause every sidewalk i walk is like a tight rope
yes i know my deadline sire- when my life expires
i'm sendin' paper south under the barb wire
the mother of my child'll loose her mind at my grave
it's my life for their life
so call it a free trade
"por vida" and my name upon a stall
i took a death trip
when i tried to cross the white wall
walk unseen past the graves and the gates
born without a face
born without a face
walk unseen past the graves and the gates
born without a face
one motive with no hope, uhh
born without a face
tried to look back to the past long lost
a blood donor to the landowner holocaust
pops heart stopped
in came the airdrop
flooded the trench he couldn't shake the toxic shock
maize was all we needed to sustain
golden skin burns, insecticide rain
ya down wit ddt, yea you know me
i'm great for the grapes
profit for the bourgeoisie
war tape boomin'
path is luminoso
i'm headed north like my name was kid cisco
ta survive
one motive no hope
uhh, it's hard ta breathe with wilson's hand around my throat
uhh, strangled and mangled another ss curtain call...
when i tried ta cross the white wall
when i tried ta cross the white walls
walk unseen past the graves and the gates
born without a face
one motive no hope, uhh
without a face
walk unseen past the graves and the gates
born without a face
one motive no hope, uhh
without a face
you say fortify reaction
