Latin Roots lyrics

Artist: Fugazi
Album: Steady Diet Of Nothing

Lyrics

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
