Latin Roots lyrics

Artist  : Fugazi 
Song : Latin Roots



 Send "Latin Roots" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Lying on our backs,

This is your parents' bed,

A good place to be laid 'cos it's so neatly
made.

Staring at the ceiling,

Vein to vein the lines look the same

As the ones that you're seeing,

And then you start speaking:

Rracing your father's footsteps in your mother's
shoes,

Going up and over and across your latin
roots.

Point points back to its origin,

Across the world cogs are clogged with the
sand,

Here the air breathes freely and our tongues work
loosely,

Border approaches border,

You're using your hands and smearing your
r's.

I'm looking over my shoulder,

Strained resistance to scour the door for

your father's footsteps or your mother's
shoes,

Coming up and over, cut across your latin
roots.

It's time to meet you makers.
