Roots Radicals (Raices Radicales)

I took the 60 bus, outside of Los AngelesTome el 60 autobus, afuera de Los Angeles
Ben Sandoval was waiting for meBen Sandoval me estaba esperando
All the punk-rockers and the moon stompersAll the punk-rockers and the moon stompers
Were on the corner begging for change...Estaban en la esquina pidiendo dinero...
I started to think, then I started to drinkYo empece a pensar, y luego a tomar
I don’t remember much from that dayNo me acuerdo mucho de ese dia
It felt like a joke when the money ran outSe me hizo como chiste cuando se acabo el dinero
Where are we going at fifteen...A donde vamos a los quince anos...

With the music blasting and talking about revolution and the blood in me says..Con la musica ejecucion y hablando de revolucion y la sangre en mi me dice..

Give 'em the boot, radical rootsDales la bota, raices radicales
Give 'em the boot 'cause we’re radicalsDales la bota porque somos radicales
Give 'em the boot, roots blooming in my hood...Dales la bota, raices florecen en mi barrio...

The radio's playing, Desmond Dekker singingEl radio esta tocando, Desmond Dekker cantando
On bus 43 we’re heading uphillEn el autobus 43 vamos hacia la subida
Nothing's coming in, but reggae's playingNada esta entrando, pero el reggae sonando
And we all come from poor familiesY todos venimos de pobres familias
Well, whatever, I lift the bottle,Pues nimodo y levanto la botella,
Hey, bus driver, let those people onOye senor chofer deje a esa gente subir
Bad girl Carol with her short skirtsChica mala Carol con sus faldas cortas
My blurry vision sees no wrong...Mi vision nublada no miro ningun mal...

With the music blasting and talking about revolution and the blood in me says..Con la musica ejecucion y hablando de revolucion y la sangre en mi me dice..

Give 'em the boot, radical rootsDales la bota, raices radicales
Give 'em the boot 'cause we’re radicalsDales la bota porque somos radicales
Give 'em the boot, roots blooming in my hood...Dales la bota, raices florecen en mi barrio...

IN MY HOOD!!!EN MI BARRIOOOO!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
