Lyrics

She smashed the radio
With the board of education		(Verse 1)
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		(Pre-Chorus 1)
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution

She is the first voice
Of the last ones in the line		(Verse 2)
She'll drag the lake
To keep the vendetta alive

Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document		(Pre-Chorus 2)
Somebody shot the President
And no one knows where Maria went

Maria
Maria					(Chorus)
Maria
Where did you go?

She questions what your offering 
Your breath lacks the convicion		(Bridge)
Drawing the line in the dirt 
Because the last decision
Is no!

(Solo)
(Verse 1)
(Pre-Chorus 1)
(Chorus)
