  • The sun ablaze as Maria’s foot touches the surface of sand

    On northern land, as human contraband

    Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss

    She stuffed into a truckbed, she clutches her cross

    Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs

    She’s off fast to the pasture, like cattle she’ll cross

    Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home

    Of Yanqui guns for blood, debts on the loans

    Of smoldering fields, rape, rubble and bones

    Of graves hidden, trapped up in visions of war

    Of nothing, no one, nobody, no more


    Hard to pick a RATM song, but Maria is one of my favourite lyrically. Also topical right now
