zapata's blood

Singer:rage against the machine

zapata's blood

wasn't spilt in vain

so now the most poor wage war

to reclaim their name

zapata's blood

wasn't spilt in vain

so now the most poor wage war

to reclaim their terrain

on january 1st

1994

the indigenous farmers of southern mexico

declared war on an unjust

and illegitimate government

out of the debt of the most wild

the most poor

came a just arm struggle

for democracy

justice

and liberty

and it won't stop until that 65 year old dictatorship

the partido revolucionario institucional

is buried in the

ground

and the people's voice is heard once again

yeah

so check it out: on january 1st

of 94 they became known as

the zapatista movement

and they have a saying

and i want you all to

sing along with me real quick. it goes something like this

it goes everything for everyone. and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. yeah

sing that shit. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves. everything for everyone

and nothing for ourselves.
