Rage Against The Machine - Maria Lyrics
Tha sun ablaze as marias footTouches the surface of sandOn northern landAs human contrabandSome rico from jaliscoPassed her name to tha bossShe stuffed ten to a truckbedShe clutches her crossHere come tha exhaustAnd it rips through her lungsShes off fast to tha pastureLike cattle shell crossDegree 106Sweat and vomit are thrownAnd she prays and suffocatesUpon the memories of homeOf yanqui guns for blood debts on the loansOf smoldering fields, rape, rubble and bonesOf graves hidden trapped up in visions of warOf nothing, no one, nobody, no moreThese are her mountains and skies and she radiatesAnd through historys rivers of blood she regeneratesAnd like tha sun disappears only to reappearShes eternally hereHer time is nearnever conquered but hereTo tear away at the maskAnd now she got a quotaTha needle and thread crucifixionSold and shipped across tha new lineOf mason dixonRippin through denimTha point an inch from her veinTha foreman approachHis steps now pound in her brainHis presence it terrifiesAnd eclipses her daysNo minutes to restNo moments to prayAnd with a whisperHe whips herSoul changed to his willMy job is to kill if you forget to take your pillHer arm jerksTha sisters gather round her and screamAs if in a dreamEyes on the crimson streamNumb as her wrists spit shots of blood to tha floorI am nothing, no one, nobody, no moreThese are her mountains and skies and she radiatesand through historys rivers of blood she regeneratesAnd like tha sun disappears only to reappearMariaShes eternally hereHer time is nearNever conquered but hereUhTo tear away at the maskAway at the maskTo tear away at the maskHuhMaria (whispered)No minute to restNo moment to prayNo minutes to restNo moments to prayNo minutes to restIt eclipses her daysJust a moment to prayTo tear away at the mask, huhAway at the maskTo tear away at the mask, huuhTo tear away at the mask
