lyrics

Thanks for the history or lack thereof,
I’m obliged.
It’s kinda strange being strangers filled with light.
Misplaced allegiance finding it harder to say
where your family used to live
or when they came here anyway.
Now disinterests turned to spite:
festering—and you have no fucking culture

You can read and you can write,
but you can never learn a life.

Three decades later
know you’ll never be pro.
Keep spilling coffee on your keyboard
destroying everything you start;
some ego broken on a Crosley.
Mom made sure you could act
like all the whitish kids at school
who weren’t picked on or laughed at.
Now you wonder if that was best for you or someone else.

You can read and you can write,
but you’ll never learn a life.

Cut out my tongueCut out my tongueCut out my tongueCut out my tongue
Cortar mi lenguaCortar mi lenguaCortar mi lenguaCortar mi lengua

Your paper mâché tongue can’t taste the fly wings in my stew.
Your paper mâché tongue can’t taste the fly wings in my stew
because wallets brand you just like steer on puppet strings
(and) white roaches eat your children:
swallows them whole while you fucking sleep.

Stitch my blood in your history books
word for word
with ivory hands.
Stitch my blood to your history books
and call me pocho
one more time.
