Tom Morello - 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) [Verse 1] 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 Cause for Raza livin' in La La Is like Gaza on to the dawn of Intifada Reach for the lessons the masked pa** on And seize the metropolis, it's you that it's built on [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Hook] War within a breath! It's land or d**h! War within a breath! It's land or d**h! War within a breath! It's land or d**h! 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) [Verse 2] Shots heard underground round the rapture The world's eye captured at last in a Mexican pasture The masked screaming land or d**h 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 [Pre-Chorus] Ugh, Hear the masked scream.. [Hook] It's land or d**h.. [Hook] War within a breath! It's land or d**h! War within a breath! It's land or d**h! War within a breath! It's land or d**h! War within a breath! It's land Or d**h! {band then clutters instruments as Tom Morello leaves an amp buzz the rest of the song}
