Rage Against the Machine - Born as Ghosts lyrics

The hills find peace
Locked armed guard posts
Safe from the screams of the
Children born as ghosts
Gates, guns and alarms shape the
Calm of the dawn peering down into the basin
Where death lives on
When young run foaming at the mouth with hate
When burning batons beat the
Freezing who shake
Under the toxic sunsets they dine and toast
Of walls deny the terror faced
By the children born as ghosts

Born as ghosts (A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(We are the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts)

One book and forty ghosts stuffed in a room
Ah, the school as a tomb
Where home is a wasteland
Taste the razor wire
And thought is locked in the womb
The tales that tear at the myth of the dream
(Myth of the dream, myth of the dream)
A suffering that shocks the
Lives off the screen
(Myth of the dream, myth of the dream)

Born as ghosts (A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(We are the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(A warning, you sufferers
Begin to speak our word) born as ghosts
(We are the children born as ghosts
Born as ghosts) born as ghosts
