About Without a Face

"Without a Face" is a song by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine from their second studio album Evil Empire (1996). "Without a Face" discusses the hardships faced by Mexican immigrants when moving to the United States, and how the U.S. government was building a wall at the border between itself and Mexico to stop the immigrants coming in. The title references the fact that many Mexican immigrants in the U.S. go unnoticed: they don't have signs on their backs .

Without a Face Lyrics

[00:05.14] Uh...
[00:07.86] Got no card, so I got not soul
[00:11.45] Life is prison, no parole, no control
[00:13.64] The jura got my number on a wire tap
[00:16.00] 'Cause I jack for Similac, fuck a Cadillac
[00:18.86] Survive, one motive no hope
[00:21.01] 'Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope
[00:23.57] Yes, I know my deadline, sire, when my life expires
[00:26.53] I'm sendin' paper south under the barbed wire
[00:29.18] The mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave
[00:31.81] It's my life for their life, so call it a free trade
[00:34.34] "Por vida" and our name up on the stall
[00:36.72] I took a death trip, when I tried to cross the white wall
[00:49.61] Walk unseen past the graves and the gates
[00:52.96] Born without a face
[00:55.66] One motive no hope, uh
[00:58.15] Born without a face
[00:59.51] Walk unseen past the graves an the gates
[01:02.97] Born without a face
[01:05.32] One motive no hope, uh
[01:07.59] Yeah, born without a face
[01:10.94] Without a face
[01:14.12] Yeah, I tried ta look back to my past long lost
[01:16.98] A blood donor to the land owner holocaust
[01:20.09] Pop's heart stopped, in came the air drop
[01:22.50] Flooded the trench, he couldn't shake the toxic shock
[01:24.91] Maize, was all we needed to sustain
[01:27.42] Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rain
[01:29.82] Ya down wit DDT - yeah, you know me
[01:32.50] I'm raped for the grapes, profit for the bourgeoisie
[01:35.69] War tape boomin', path is Luminoso
[01:38.26] I'm headed north like my name was Kid Cisco
[01:40.56] To survive, one motive no hope, uh
[01:43.44] It's hard to breathe with Wilson's hand around my throat, uh!
[01:46.01] Strangled and mangled, another SS curtain call...
[01:49.37] When I tried to cross the white walls...
[01:54.41] When I tried to cross the white walls...
[02:00.52] Walk unseen past the graves and the gates
[02:04.24] Born without a face!
[02:06.74] One motive no hope, uh
[02:09.12] Born without a face!
[02:10.85] Walk unseen past the graves an the gates
[02:14.18] Born without a face!
[02:16.53] One motive no hope, uh
[02:19.16] Born without a face!
[03:01.05] You say fortify
[03:04.39] Reaction, you divide
[03:08.02] And you say fortify
[03:11.46] Reaction, reaction
[03:15.27] And you say fortify
[03:18.75] Reaction, reaction
[03:22.46] You say fortify
[03:26.20] Reaction, you divide
[03:30.27]
