See How We Are (Demo)
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
There are men lost in jail Crowded fifty to a room There's too many rats in this cage of the world
And the women know their place They sit home and write letters And when they visit once a year, well, they both just sit there and stare
See how we are, gotta keep bars in between us See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are, oh see how we are
Now there are seven kinds of Coke Five hundred kinds of cigarettes This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy
But in Acapulco Well, they don't give a damn About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet
See how we are, hey man, what's in it for me? See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are, oh see how we are
Now that highway is coming through So you all gotta move This bottom rung ain't no fun at all Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
'Cause no fires and rock houses And grape-flavored rat poison Are the new trinity for this so-called community
See how we are, gotta keep bars on all of our windows See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are, oh see how we are
Well, this morning the alarm rang at noon And I'm trying to write this letter to you About how much I care and why I just can't be there To draw your bath and comb and comb your hair
Last night in a nightspot Where things aren't so hot My friend said, 'I met a boy and I'm in love'
I said, 'Oh really, what's this one's name?' She said, 'His first name is Homeboy' I said, 'Could his last name be Trouble?'
See how we are, ah Homeboy, isn't that a Mexican name? See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are, oh see how we are Yeah, see how we are, oh see how we are
