Native Tongue

[Verse 1] 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've got our own language We talk to people But they never understand They think we’re crazy ‘Cause it sounds like noise [Chorus] When we’re speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue We’re speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue [Verse 2] 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 Isn’t it strange All the things you hear When you sit And listen? [Chorus] 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 Some 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 [Break] Out! Out! Out! [Chorus] [Outro] 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
