Romeo Soto - Language Acquisition Lyrics

Ever since you left
The womb you've consumed
The words of the world
It's language acquisition

How would you know how to ask

For a cup of milk
You would scream
And get yourself
Into something messy

We must learn what these words mean

We must teach all the little ones
The difference between right and wrong
Good and bad so they can choose
The right way for themselves

We're thrown into this world with nothing
No matter who we are
We depend on the kindness of others
To extend the bright reaches of their arms and smiles

But not all of us have a light
In our souls
And we use the words to fake each other out
But not all of us have a light
In our souls
And we use the words to fake each other out

Free speech is our no man's land
And there is no freedom without trust

Throwing back and forth
Our fighting words
Turning our ideas
Into real violence

And if you're smart
And you want to get something done

Learn a word a day
And say what you have to say

It's language acquisition
It's language acquisition
It is the common mission
For the population

Our communication
Our communication
It is the common station
For the population

It's language acquisition
It's language acquisition
It is the common mission
For the population

Our communication
Our communication
It is the common station
For the population
