Maria Lyrics by Rage Against The Machine

Maria Lyrics

    Tha sun ablaze as Marias foot
    Touches the 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 come tha exhaust
    And it rips through her lungs
    Shes off fast to tha pasture
    Like cattle shell 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
    And through historys rivers of blood she regenerates
    And like tha sun disappears only to reappear
    Shes eternally here
    Her time is nearNever conquered but here

    To tear away at the mask

    And now she got a quota
    Tha needle and thread crucifixion
    Sold and shipped across tha new line
    of Mason Dixon
    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 changed to his will
    My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill
    Her arm jerks
    Tha 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 tha floor
    I am nothing, no one, nobody, no more

    These are her mountains and skies and she radiatesAnd through historys rivers of blood she regenerates
    And like tha sun disappears only to reappear
    Maria
    Shes eternally here
    Her time is near
    Never conquered but here

    Uh
    To tear away at the mask
    Away at the mask
    To tear away at the mask
    Huh

    Maria (whispered)

    No minute to rest
    No moment to pray
    No minutes to rest
    No moments to pray
    No minutes to rest
    It eclipses her days
    Just a moment to pray

    To tear away at the mask, huh
    Away at the mask
    To tear away at the mask, huuh
    To tear away at the mask
