The sun a^Dsusblaze as Maria's foot touches the sand ^D On northern land, as human contraband ^Dsus ^DsusShe got her name passed down to the Boss Now she’s ^Gstuck on a truckbed, clutching ^Fher cross ^Dsus ^D Yanqui ^Dsusguns, blood debts on the loans ^DSmoldering fields with rape, rubble, and bones ^GGraves hidden, trapped in visions of war She prays to ^Fnothing, ^N.C.no one, nobody no more

[Intro] Dsus D Dsus D [Verse 2]

And now she's got a ^Dsusquota, the needle and thread crucifixion ^DSold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon ^DsusRippin' through denim, the point an inch from her vein The ^Gforeman approaches, his ^Fsteps pound in her brain ^Dsus His ^Dsteps pound in her brain Her arms ^Dsusjerks, the sisters gather ’round her and scream As if ^Din a dream, eyes on the crimson stream ^GNumb as her wrists spit blood to the floor I am ^Fnothing, ^N.C.no one, nobody no more
