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
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
