Born as Ghosts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Born as Ghosts" is a song by American rap/rock band Rage Against the Machine, from their third album The Battle of Los Angeles. The song is a commentary on how world leaders and politicians make choices without stopping to think of the people who are affected by them, namely children.

Under the toxic sunsets
They dine and toast
Their walls deny the terror faced
By the children born as ghosts

Thus, children are treated as if they are non-existent, like ghosts.
