Without a Face – Rage Against the Machine
Without a Face, indisputably one of RATM’s most underrated songs, brought to you in all its 128kbps glory.

Lyrics:
Uh! Got no card so I got not soul
Life is prison, no parole, no control
Tha jura got my number on a wire tap
‘Cause I jack for similac, a cadillac
Survive one motive no hope
‘Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope
Yes I know my deadline sire, when my life expires
I’m sendin’ paper south under tha barbed wire
Tha mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave
It’s my life for their life so call it a free trade
“Por vida” and our name up on tha stall
I took a death trip when I tried ta cross tha white wall
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, yeah, born without a face
Without a face
Yeah, I tried ta look back ta my past long lost
A blood donor ta tha land owner holocaust
Pops heart stopped, in came tha air drop
Flooded tha trench he couldn’t shake tha toxic shock
Maize was all we needed ta sustain
Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rain
Ya down wit DDT yeah you know me
Raped for tha grapes, profit for tha bourgeois
War tape boomin’ path is Luminoso
I’m headed north like my name was kid Cisco
To survive one motive no hope, ah
It’s hard ta breathe wit Wilson’s head around my throat
Strangled and mangled another SS curtain call
When I tried ta cross tha white wall
When I tried ta cross tha white walls
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face
You say fortify, reaction, you divide
And you say fortify, reaction, reaction
And you say fortify, reaction, reaction
You say fortify, reaction, you divide

The verse “I tried …
The verse “I tried to look back to my past long lost” hits me especially hard because no matter how attached I am to the culture of my ancestors, I can’t help but feel assimilated. I can’t speak their language, I don’t know their traditions and history. I feel I’ve lost something I can’t get back.
