War Within a Breath

Every official that come in

Cripples us, leaves us maimed

Silent and tame, and with our flesh and bones

He builds his homes

Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist

Clenched to smash power so cancerous

Black flag and a red star

A risin' sun loomin' over Los Angeles

Yes, for Raza livin' in La La

Like Gaza on to the dawn Intifada

Reach for the lessons the masked pass on

Seize the metropolis it's you its built on

Everything can change on 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

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 is a Mexican pasture

The 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

And 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 can change on a New Year's Day

C'mon, uh

Wearin' 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, aah, c'mon, c'mon, yes, yes, yes

Its 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
