Without a Face

GOT NO CARD SO I GOT NO SOUL, LIFE IS PRISON NO
PAROLE, NO CONTROL
THA JURA GOT MY NUMBER ON A WIRE TAP, ' CAUSE I
JACK FOR SIMILAC, FUCK A CADILLAC
SURVIVE ONE MOTIVE NO HOPE ;CAUSE EVERY SIDEWALK
I WALK IS LIKE A TIGHTROPE
YES I KNOW MY DEADLINE SIRE, IT'S WHEN MY LIFE
EXPIRES
SO 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
"FOR VIDA" AND OUR M=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
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 WE ALL WE NEEDED TO SUSTAIN, NO HER
GOLDEN SKIN BURNS, INSECTICIDE RAIN
YA DOWN WIT DDT YEAH YOU KNOW ME, RAPPED FOR THA
GRAPES, PROFIT FOR THA BOURGOISIE
WAR TAPE BOOMIN' PATH IS LUMINOSO, I'M HEADED
NORTH LIKE MY NAME WAS KID CISCO
TO SURVIVE ONE MOTIVE NO HOPE, IT'S HARD TA
BREATHE WIT WILSON'S HAND AROUND
MY THROAT
STRANGLED AND MANGLED ANOTHER SS
CURTAIN CALL, WHEN I TRIED TA CROSS
THA WHITE WALL
WALK UNSEEN PAST THA GRAVES AN THA GATES, BORN
WITHOUT A FACE
YOU SAY FORTIFY, REACTION, YOU DIVIDE
YOU SAY FORTIFY, REACTION, REACTION

BASS TABS

Born Without A Face by Rage Against The Machine
tabbed by r.allen.canterbury

Quick note -- the C+F diad (8 on E and A strings simultaneously) sounds a bit
different each time Tim plays it on the CD. Sometimes the C is accented and
sometimes the F is accented. I put a ! beside the note that sounds (to me)
more accented. If using a pick strike the diad by hitting the note with the !
beside it first (either down pick or up pick depending). If playing with
fingers, pluck the accented string a little harder to make that note ring out
louder. Any suggestions or corrections are appreciated!
