Rage Against The Machine - Maria Lyrics

Tha sun ablaze as Maria's foot 
Touches tha surface of sand 
On northern land 
As human contraband 
some rico from Jalisco 
Passed her name to tha boss 
She stuffed ten to a truckbed 
She clutches her cross 
Here comes tha 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 tha memories of home 
Of yanqui guns for blood debts on tha loans 
Of smoldering fields rape rubble and bones 
Of granes hidden trapped up in visions of war 
Of 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 tha sun dissapears only to reappear 
She's eternally here 
Her time is near 
Never conquered but there 

To tear away at tha mask 

And now she got a quota 
Tha needle and thread crucifixion 
Sold and shipped across tha new line 
of Mason Dicon 
Rippin' through denim 
Tha point an inch from her vein 
Tha foreman approach 
His steps now pound in her brain 
His presence it terrifies 
And eclipses her days 
No minutes to rest 
No moments to pray 
And with a whisper 
He whips her soul chained to his will 

"My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill" 
Her arms jerks 
Tha sisters gather round her and scream 
As if in a dream 
Eyes on tha crimson stream 
Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to tha floor 
I am nothing no one nobody no more 

These are her mountains an skies 
And she radiates 
And through history's rivers of blood 
She regenerates 
And like tha sun dissapears only to reappear 
Maria she's eternally here 
Her time is near 
Never conquered but here 

to tear away at the masks 
to tear away at the masks 
to tear away at the masks 
to tear away at the masks
