Текст песни X - See How We Are (Unclogged 2005)

See How We Are LyricsThere are men lost in jail
Crowded fifty to a room
There's too many rats in this cage of a world
And the women know their place
They sit home and write letters
Then they visit once a year
When they both just sit there and stare

[Chorus]
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
500 kinds of cigarettes
This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy
But down in Acapulco
Well, they don't give a damn
About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet

[Chorus]
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

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's Homeboy"
I said, "Could his last name be Trouble?"
[Chorus]
See how we are
Hey girl, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you
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

Now that highway's coming through
So you all gotta move
This bottom rung ain't no fun at all
'Cause now fires and rock houses
And grape-flavored rat poison
Are the new trinity
For this so-called community

[Chorus]
See how we are
Gotta keep bars on all 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
See how we are
Yeah, see how we are
Oh, see how we are1
