    Lyrics
    She smashed the radio
    with the board of education
    turn up the static left of
    the state of the nation

    Turn up the flame
    step on the gas
    burning the flag at half mast
    she's a rebel's forgotten son
    an export of the revolution

    She is the first voice
    of the last ones in the line
    she'll drag the lake
    to keep the vendetta alive

    Bring in the head of the government
    the dog ate the document
    somebody shot the President
    and noone knows where Maria went?

    Maria,
    Maria,
    Maria, where did you go?...

    Be careful what your offering
    your breath lacks the convicion
    drawing the line in the dirt
    because the last decision.. is no!
