Tom Morello - Without A Face (Live) lyrics

[Zack de la Rocha] It seems as if soon as the... the wall in Germany fell, that the US government was busy building another one at the border between the US and Mexico. Since 1986, as a result of a lot of the hate talk and hysteria that the government of the United States has been speaking, 1,500 bodies have been found at the border. We wrote this song in response to it. It's called "Without A Face." Uh.. I got no card, so I got not soul Life is prison, no parole, no control Jura got my number on a wire tap 'Cause I jack for Similac, f** a Cadillac Survive, one motive no hope 'Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope Yes, I know my deadline, sire, when my life expires I'm sendin' paper south under the barbed wire The mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave It's my life for their life, so call it a free trade "Por vida" and our name up on the stall I took a d**h trip, when I tried to cross the white wall [Hook] Walk unseen past the graves and the gates Born without a face Born without a face Walk unseen past the graves an the gates Born without a face One motive no hope, uh, yeah Born without a face Without a face! I tried to look back to my past long lost A blood donor to the land owner holocaust Pop's heart stopped, in came the air drop Flooded the trench, he couldn't shake the toxic shock Maize, was all we needed to sustain Golden skin burns, insecticide rain Ya down with DDT, yeah, you know me I'm raped for the grapes, profit for the bourgeoisie War tape boomin', path is Luminoso I'm headed north like my name was Kid Cisco To survive, one motive no hope, uh It's hard to breathe with Wilson's hand around my throat, uh Strangled and mangled, another SS curtain call When I tried to cross the white wall When I tried to cross the white wall [Hook] Walk unseen past the graves and the gates Born without a face! One motive no hope, uh Without a face! Walk unseen past the graves and the gates Born without a face! One motive no hope, uh Without a face!
