Cover art for Born as Ghosts lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

Initially I thought this song was about the children of illegal immigrants living in places like Southern California who are kept seperated to a large extent from society due to the illegal handicap. They aren't able to attend school and whatnot or ever get a real job if they weren't born in the U.S. and illegally crossed the border with their parents.
