There are men lost in jail Crowded fifty to a room There's too many rats in this cage of the world And the women know their place They sit home and write letters And when they visit once a year Well they both just sit there and stare See how we are Gotta keep bars in between us See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Now there are seven kinds of Coke 500 kinds of cigarettes This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy But in Acapulco Well they don't give a damn About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet See how we are "Hey man, what's in it for me?" See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Now that highway's coming through So you all gotta move This bottom rung ain't no fun at all No fires and rockhouses and grape-flavored rat poison They are the new trinity For this so-called community See how we are Gotta keep bars on all of our windows See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Well this morning the alarm rang at noon And I'm trying to write this letter to you About how much I care and why I just can't be there To draw your bath and comb...and comb your hair Last night in a nightspot Where things aren't so hot My friend said, "I met a boy and I'm in love" I said, "Oh really... What's this one's name?" She said, "His first name is Homeboy" I said "Could his last name be Trouble?" See how we are Ah Homeboy... Isn't that a Mexican name? See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Yeah see how we are
