Spanish Last Names

about

The first recording done at MAHAL STUDIOS.

lyrics

(Grandpa Louis singing Mariachi song)

And we all changed
our Spanish last names
to the ones that we thought
would sound a little less plain
and we married white men
and had blonde, blue-eyed babies
who don't understand what their grandparents say
they say: " Que? Que? No sabes que?
No entiendo, no comprendo
Que? Que? No sabes que?No entiendo, no comprende..."

But when we were in school we had names like 'Gonzalez'
we both learned guitar, and we both moved to Washington
I always saw you alone in the shadows
and I've watched you climb towards the light over people you've used
what's your fucking excuse?
I'm through with you,
and i'm through with your shit-talking too
if it's me or you, then i'll tell you what i'm gonna do:
take a marker & draw a straight line
right across the Pacific coast line
i'll have my half, you'll have your half &
Our paths won't collide
You'll have the north &
I'll have the South
as our territory lines
Scorpio & Aries don't combine
i'll put your fire out cause i'm a water sign
They might love you
But I know you
All of my friends see right through you
& I don't hate you, i'm quite like you
when it comes to shit we're into
but no more of this awkward silence
if you're my rival then I want violence

& if we never meet again
my foulest friend remember when
our friendship wasn't all pretend
it lasted just a year or so, and then your head began to grow...
But i'll remain
like a drug that left scars in your vein
if you complain then i'll knock all your teeth out again
and though my baby's far away tonight
i'll find my way back to the simple life
I don't wanna hear you're sorry
I just want you far far from me
keep the movies that i leant you
and the dress too, since it fits you...

and we all changed our Spanish last names
to the ones that we thought would bring us more fame
but always consider that it's hard to sever
ties between people who grew up together
whatever you become they will always remember
whoever you become they will always remember
