Native Tongue

Native Tongue
How can they say
There is one way
When it's the opposite?
And how can they know
The end of the story
Before I tell it?
'Cause when I walk your feet they fall
To the same beat
Or maybe we're from two different worlds
But we got our own language

We talk to people but they never understand
They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like laws
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue
We used to live
Like we were strangers
We didn’t know
Any better
We didn’t fit
In with the outer crowd so we gave in
And we shut our mouths
But oh, how I love your history
And I can take it
And when you talk in code to me
I can translate it
We talk to people but they never understand
They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like laws with them
Ain't it strange all the things you hear when you sit and listen?
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue

And all this time I've been wasting my breath
Just wasting my woes on everyone else
Now they're speaking in my native
Speaking in my native tongue
So come on, talk it out
So come on, talk it out
So come on and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out
Your voice, it’d probably be back from the dead
So come on and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out, out, out, out
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue
We're speaking in our native
Speaking in our native tongue
And all this time I've been wasting my breath
(You know we speak in the hole this time)
Just wasting my woes on everyone else
(You know we’re speaking the same language now)
Now they're speaking in my native
Speaking in my native tongue.
