War Within a Breath

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 that it's built on Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day And everything changed on a new years day, c'mon! 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 World's eye captured at last in a Mexican pasture Masked screaming land or death Within a breath, a war from the depth of time Shot four puppet governors in a line 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 years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day And everything changed on a new years day, c'mon! 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 Yeaaah! Ugh! C'mon! C'mon! Yes! Yes! Yes! 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
