Rage Against the Machine - War Within a Breath lyrics
[Rage Against the Machine - War Within a Breath lyrics]
Every official that comes in, cripples us
Leaves us maimed silent and tamed
And with our flesh and bones
He builds his homes
Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
A black flag and a red star
A rising sun loomin' over Los Angeles
Yes, for Raza livin' in La La
Like Gaza on to the dawn of Intifada
Reach for the lessons the masked pass on
And seize the metropolis
It's you it's built on
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
And everything changed on a new year's day
Come on
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land
Their existence is a crime
Their seat, their robe, their tie
Their land deeds, their hired guns
They're the crime
Shots heard underground 'round the rapture
The world's eye captured at last
In a Mexican pasture
The masked screaming land or death
Within a breath, a war from the depth of time
Who shot four puppet governors in a line
Who shook all the world bankers
Who think they can rhyme
Shot the landlords who knew it was mine
Yes, it's a war from the depth of time
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Come on ugh, hear the masked scream
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
It's land or death yeah, uh
Come on come on
Yes, yes yes
It's war within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
Leaves us maimed silent and tamed
And with our flesh and bones
He builds his homes
Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
A black flag and a red star
A rising sun loomin' over Los Angeles
Yes, for Raza livin' in La La
Like Gaza on to the dawn of Intifada
Reach for the lessons the masked pass on
And seize the metropolis
It's you it's built on
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
And everything changed on a new year's day
Come on
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land
Their existence is a crime
Their seat, their robe, their tie
Their land deeds, their hired guns
They're the crime
Shots heard underground 'round the rapture
The world's eye captured at last
In a Mexican pasture
The masked screaming land or death
Within a breath, a war from the depth of time
Who shot four puppet governors in a line
Who shook all the world bankers
Who think they can rhyme
Shot the landlords who knew it was mine
Yes, it's a war from the depth of time
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Everything can change on a new year's day
Come on ugh, hear the masked scream
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
It's land or death yeah, uh
Come on come on
Yes, yes yes
It's war within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
War within a breath it's land or death
