War Within A Breath Lyrics - Rage Against The Machine

Artist: Rage Against The Machine

Album: The Battle of Los Angeles (1999)

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 tha 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 tha dawn of Intifada

Reach for tha lessons tha masked pass on

And seize tha 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 tha crime

Shots heard underground round tha rapture

Tha world's eye captured

At last in a Mexican pasture

Tha masked screaming land or death

Within a breath

A war from tha depth of time

Who shot four puppet governors in a line

Who shook all tha world bankers

Who think they can rhyme

Shot tha landlords who knew it was mine

Yes, it's a war from tha 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 can change on a new years day, c'mon

Oh, 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!

oh, c'mon, c'mon, yes, yes, yes

It's 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
