Native Tongue

How can they say

That it's 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 noise

When 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 out crowd

So we gave in

And we shut our mouths

But oh 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 noise to 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 words on everyone else

Now 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 brought me back from the dead somehow

So come on

And talk talk talk talk talk

Talk it out

Out out out

Speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

We're speaking in our native

Speaking in our native tongue

You know we speak in my native

And all this time I've been wasting my breath

Just wasting my words on everyone else

You know we speak in my native

Now speaking in my native

Speaking in my native tongue
