Girl, better keep up, I'm not waiting
お～い、ついてきて、行っちゃうよ
some opportunities come just once in a lifetime
生涯に一回 きりのチャンスってあるさ
I've seen it happen so many times before
そういうこと 山ほどあったよ
People get frightened and paralyzed
怖くなって、身がすくんで
They let it all slip away
それですべておしまい
Better keep moving, grooving, never stop improving
進みつづけ、預け、だしてありったけ
do your best, never rest, soon enough you'll ace that test
がんばれ、見せてやれ、超えられるさ いずれ
Oh......
Pre-Chorus
I see you, you're bracing
ただ待ち構えてる
for a hit that may never come
来やしない一打を
If you never, ever give up
あきらめなければ
by that measure, you've already won
もうそこで君の勝ちさ
Chorus
Nothing worthwhile ever comes to you easy
やりがいって そうそう掴めない
I know all the hardships that you've had to endure
君が歯を食いしばってたって知ってるよ
Something tells me that things will soon be breezy
もうすぐ道はひらけるって予感
smooth sailing and clear skies are waiting for sure
晴れた空がきっと待っているはず
Oh...
Verse 2
Boy, better keep up, I'm not waiting
ねぇ、ついてきて、行っちゃうよ
things are moving fast, I can't miss this chance of a lifetime
すごい勢いで 進む、チャンス逃せない
I've watched too many people waste their fortune
多くの人が見えてないけど
I won't get scared and paralyzed
私はなにも恐れない
I'll make the most of my opportunity
この機会、使い切ってやるわ
Better keep moving, grooving, never stop improving
進みつづけ、預け、だしてありったけ
do my best, never rest, soon enough I'll ace that test
がんばる、見せてやる、超えてみせる いずれ
Oh....
Repeat pre-chorus / chorus

Asian Parents Stories II
03:13
|

|
Verse 1
I'm up to my neck in student loan debt
and I don't know how to dig myself out
I'm still living in my parents' home
paying for a house my momma bought
Now my poppa's telling me that he wants a new car
and I should buy him a brand new mercedes benz
It's pretty clear that my parents think
of their daughter as some goddamn ATM
Chorus
I'm only twenty two but my hands feel tied
I just want to have a chance to live my own life
I want to travel the world in search of that special guy
Verse 2
I've got an app on my phone
so my parents can track me wherever I go, they wanna know
I can't go out, gotta stay at home and listen to my parents tell me how useless I am
I'm beginning to think that my only course
is to pack up my things and walk out that door
This isn't what I want, I'm at the end of the line
I'm tired of living a life that's not mine
Chorus
I'm only twenty two but my hands feel tied
I just want to have a chance to live my own life
I want to travel the world in search of that special guy
Bridge
My momma loves to tell me how much I owe them
And just how much they've sacrificed and suffered all their lives
If it weren't for them, I'd have no bed
no clothes, no phone
'Cause I'm just a stupid child who couldn't
survive on her own
Chorus x 3

Worst in You
03:10
|
|||
|
I've been rejected for a long time
social distance is a daily practice of mine
If you want, I can drive your guests away
I do it every day
All I have to do is show up
then watch the roaches leave everything in the dust
Over there is a fat kid getting bullied
I don't care 'cause that fat boy stole my lunch money
It never pays to try and do a good deed
This is advice you should heed
I stop caring so long ago
I just do my best and try to keep the status quo
I've seen the worst in you
You can't hide what will always come through
You like to claim it will be great again
Fat chance! We've reached the end
Who the hell is hoarding all the toilet paper?
Pretty sad that it's coming down to neighbor vs. neighbor
I'm not surprised--but know this
I won't lose to a piece of shit
I stop caring so long ago
I just do my best and try to keep the status quo
I've seen the worst in you
You can't hide what will always come through
You like to claim it will be great again
Fat chance! We've reached the end (x3)
I've seen the worst
It's not getting any better
I've seen the worst
It's not-
It's not-
It's not getting better

Dirt Spoon Girl
03:36
|
|||
|
Verse
I was born into a dirt poor existence
just like my father, his father as well
People tell me that working hard is
my ticket to get out, yeah!
I can tell you that's all a load of crap
once you're a dirt spoon, you're always a dirt spoon
I'm just a cashier at Family Mart
How can I hope to buy a home of my own?
pre-Chorus
I've never seen a gold spoon hard at work
They just practice at being an arrogant jerk
It must be nice to have daddy fix everything for you
I must have missed that sign up day at school
Chorus
Dirt Spoon Girl, that's my name
If you don't have the money
well, I'm sorry but you can't
get into the game
Dirt Spoon boy, that's a shame
You don't have connections
so you're S.O.L., try again, 'cause
you'll have to lower your aim
There's no way out for us!
Verse2
My routine consists of me waking up
roll out of my bed, brush my teeth, brush my hair
Work my shift at the Family Mart
Life drags on every day, oh!
All the days feel like the same to me
once you're a dirt spoon, you're always a dirt spoon
I'm just waiting for death to take me away
When I'm gone it will be as if I'd never been born
pre-Chorus
I've never seen a dirt spoon dig his way out
they just flail their arms until they sink underground
If only I could have my daddy fix everything for me
I must have missed that sign up day at university
Chorus
Outro
I'm just a dirt spoon girl
(dirt spoon girl)

I So Pale
03:45
|
|||
|
Hey, look! Another bill
I guess I'll add it to my growing hill
No need to tell me I'm short on funds
I already get that from everyone
Money going out but
not enough is coming in
When my pocket's empty
someone plays the violin
Do I eat or pay my bills
that's the choice this week
Everytime I plug a hole
I get another leak
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
there's a car coming at me and there's
no help in sight
No where to go so I'm stuck
deep down in this hole
Can you help me find some control?
Been so long since I've seen the sun
I can't wait till I'm finally done
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale
I get so nervous when I leave my house
I never stray from my usual route
No need to take a chance
and take a bad step
and wind up in the hospital
with a mountain of debt
When you're poor you're robbed
of choice to live the life you want
Life just loves to pummel me
and torture me with taunts
Now and then I find a way
to steal a little treat
A donut in the microwave
is really great to eat
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
there's a car coming at me and there's
no help in sight
No where to go so I'm stuck
deep down in this hole
Can you help me find some control?
Been so long since I've seen the sun
I can't wait till I'm finally done
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale
We've all been conditioned
to accept our position
no questions asked
so bend over and smile!
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
there's a car coming at me and there's
no help in sight
No where to go so I'm stuck
deep down in this hole
Can you help me find some control?
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
there's a car coming at me and there's
no help in sight
No where to go so I'm stuck
deep down in this hole
Can you help me find some control?
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale
I so pale

Forget About Me
02:34
|
|||
|
I've got a room full of junk
old VCRs, I'm not sure if they even work
just a desolate high tech graveyard
once were valued now held in disregard
everything shiny and new ends up marred
I'm just a pretty young plaything
kept around just to hear me sing
they'll always be someone new
and when that day comes all I ask of you is
please don't forget about, forget about me
I've got an expiration date
better use me while I'm fresh
I'll entertain any request
I'm the newest A.I. technology
Don't mistake me for some flash in the pan novelty
but everything shiny and new will fade away
All my friends are long gone
everyone has moved on
eventually it will be my turn
yeah...
I'm just a pretty young plaything
kept around just to hear me sing
they'll always be someone new
and when that day comes all I ask of you is
please don't forget about, forget about...
I'm just a pretty young plaything
kept around just to hear me sing
they'll always be someone new
and when that day comes all I ask of you is
please don't forget about, forget about me

Number One Girl
03:19
|

|
I'm the number one girl but nobody knows it
I can do so many amazing things but I'm afraid to show it
I'm the girl standing in the corner, spending all her time checking her phone
If you pass me by, maybe you've wondered, how come that girl is always alone?
I have a handy notepad I keep with me all the time
when I get a really great idea, I write it down and save it with all my designs
I'm the girl, lost in her daydreams, strolling in the park, feeding the squirrels
Underneath the trees, lit by sunbeams, you won't see me I'm the invisible girl
Do you want to know a secret?
I had a teacher who did bad things
I'm your number one girl but you don't even know it
I can do so many amazing things but I'm afraid to show it
I'm the girl standing in the corner, spending all her time checking her phone
If you pass me by, maybe you've wondered, why don't you stop on by and say hello?
I'm in control now
I'm in control
I'm in control now
I'm in control
I'm the number one girl it's my hidden talent
I don't think you've ever met someone like me, no, I'm afraid you haven't
I'm the girl standing in the corner, spending all her time checking her phone
If you pass me by, maybe you've wondered, how come that girl is always alone?
I'm your number one girl
I'm your number one girl
If you pass me by, maybe you've wondered, why don't you stop on by and say hello?
Say hello
Say hello

Verse
I quit my job and I'm not even worried
I'll get a new one maybe
they all suck so I'm in no hurry
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't risking my life for this shit
no how, no way
They say I'm lazy 'cause I don't want to work
it's not that simple, baby
how 'bout you stop being a greedy jerk?
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't risking my life for this shit
no how, no way
Chorus
Don't you worry 'bout me,
I got food, I got shelter
I got my schedule all planned out
(I've been on my own, barricaded in my home, I've never had any friends)
I'll be watching Gura at nine, Ina at one,
Kiara, Calli, and Ame late into the night
(they always keep me company)
whenever I feel so alone
Verse
You think you're so giving with your one dollar raise
Baby, what world do you live in?
that won't even get me through one day
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't wasting my life for this shit
no how, no way
They say I'm lazy 'cause I won't take your job
It's not that simple, baby
How 'bout you stop being a selfish snob?
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't risking my life for this shit
no how, no way
Bridge
The whole world's been screwed up since forever
Your life sucks but for the rich it's getting better
You tell me when are you gonna finally open your eyes?
Verse
I wake up late with my mind free from worries
That feeling is priceless
It's worth more to me than your money
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't risking my life for this shit
no how, no way
You won't take measures to protect your own workers
It's really simple, baby
I gotta be the one who looks out for myself
shitty ass hours, shitty ass pay
I ain't risking my life for this shit
no how, no way
Repeat chorus
This is the new normal
This is the new normal

Stay Alive
02:51
|

|
I thought I heard some steps behind me
I think I'll slip inside this store
After all it doesn't hurt to be a little cautious
I've always been afraid of my shadow
Can you tell me what's up ahead?
I can't even plan ahead for my future
I'm paralyzed with a constant dread
I'm happy just to stay alive
I think that guy is looking at me
I think I'll hide in the bathroom
I'll just wait awhile until I see him go away
I've always been afraid of my shadow
Can you tell me what's up ahead?
I can't even plan ahead for my future
I'm paralyzed with a constant dread
I'm happy just to stay alive
I know you think I'm some kind of weirdo
Do you think I want to be this way
I've spent thousands on therapy
Nothing seems to work for me
I've always been afraid of my shadow
Can you tell me what's up ahead?
I don't even plan ahead for my future
I'm happy just to stay alive
I've always been afraid of my shadow
Can you tell me what's up ahead?
I don't even plan ahead for my future
I'm happy just to stay alive
I've always been afraid of my shadow
Can you tell me what's up ahead?
I don't even plan ahead for my future
I'm happy just to stay alive

Naptime in the Subway
02:17

Nap time on the subway is the best time
In my dreams all my troubles are left behind
The gentle rocking of the trains puts me fast asleep
It works a lot better than counting stupid sheep
Don't mind me if my head rests upon your shoulder
I won't complain about your stinky body odor
I just want some special time just for me
I'm always happy in my dreams
It's nap time on the subway
It's nap time on the subway
Nap time on the subway is the best time
I get to rest and I don't have to spend a dime
When I wake up I'll be feeling fresh and wide awake
That just means a future nap that I won't have to take
Don't mind me if my head rests upon your shoulder
I won't complain about your stinky body odor
I just want some special time just for me
I'm always happy in my...
...dreams, floating in the air
winds swirling all around my hair
whatever happens I don't care
Oh.......
Don't mind me if my head rests upon your shoulder
I won't complain about your stinky body odor
I just want some special time just for me
I'm always happy in my...
Don't mind me if my head rests upon your shoulder
I won't complain about your stinky body odor
I just want some special time just for me
I'm always happy in my dreams

I just threw up in the ocean today
You shouldn't go swimming after you eat, that's what they say
Now my breakfast is floating in the Indian Ocean
I think what happened here is best left unspoken
It was only a part of me for a while
Still, when I ate it, well, it left me with a smile
Now my vomit is making its lonely journey
Whether it can survive I think it's still too early
I think I know how it feels
I'm surrounded on all sides but I'm still all alone
I just try to keep an even keel
I'm trying to learn that I don't need to do it all on my own
Hey!
Hey!
KFP, can you help me?
There's a part of me
Out there lost and alone
KFP, please find it for me
and bring it back home
I just finished eating a really big lunch
I had to refill myself after my breakfast got expunged
I often find myself looking out over the ocean
I laugh when I think it could have been worse like "einkoten"
I wish all the best for my little vomit pile
It's only just begun a journey of many miles
I think of myself and how far I've come
I can honestly say I'm proud of all the things I've done
I think I know how it feels
I'm surrounded on all sides but I'm still all alone
I just try to keep an even keel
I'm trying to learn that I don't need to do it all on my own
Hey!
Hey!
KFP, can you help me?
There's a part of me
Out there lost and alone
KFP, please find it for me
and bring it back home
Hey!
Hey!
KFP, can you help me?
There's a part of me
Out there lost and alone
KFP, please find it for me
and bring it back home
My little chimpkins will always have my back
their enthusiasm makes up for the brains they lack
and when I catch them goofing off in the afternoon
it's off to the Usual Room
it's off to the Usual Room
it's off to the Usual Room
Hey!
Hey!
KFP, can you help me?
There's a part of me
Out there lost and alone
KFP, please find it for me
and bring it back home

White Baby Lover

I bet you're really proud of yourself
the way pat yourself on the back
You love to dress like you're fresh off the boat
it's just another way for you to gloat
You spend your time cooking food you don't even like
when all this time you'd kill for a burger and fries
You say you worship the Asian Tiger lady
but you wish that you were raised by Carol Brady
Just save yourself time and just admit it
Deep down inside, you hate yourself, admit it
Why keep your feelings all bottled up inside?
Life is a lot easier when you've got nothing to hide
You're a white baby lover from China
you want to shoot out white babies from your vagina
Baby lover, white baby lover
You're feeling guilty 'cause when you were young
You thought your culture was really dumb
You wanted to go with your friends to Micky D's
But your mother made you stay home to wash Grandma's feet
You're older now so you try to pretend
Like those old draft dodgers who prefer swords to pen
The bubble you made makes you feel like a winner
It only pops when you look in the mirror
Just save yourself time and just admit it
Deep down inside, you hate yourself, admit it
Why keep your feelings all bottled up inside?
Life is a lot easier when you've got nothing to hide
You're a white baby lover from China
you want to shoot out white babies from your vagina
Baby lover, white baby lover
Baby lover, white baby lover
Baby lover, white baby lover
Baby lover, white baby lover

I'll Keep Mine
03:16

I woke up this morning
and everyone was gone
I think I've been abandoned
It wouldn't surprise me
This isn't the first time
and it won't be the last time
I'll make myself some breakfast
I'll make pancakes and sausage
then I'll pack up my suitcase
I won't look back when I'm leaving
but before I go
I'll burn this house to the ground
There's no place for me to hang my hat
I've never stepped on a welcome mat
I've been messed up for a long, long time
but you keep yours and I'll keep mine
I've been walking for hours
I think I need to take a shower
Cars drive by and ignore me
It doesn't surprise me
This isn't the first time
and it won't be the last time
There's no place for me to hang my hat
I've never stepped on a welcome mat
I've been messed up for a long, long time
but you keep yours and I'll keep mine
I'll keep mine
I'll keep mine
I'll keep mine

Hey, stinky! Whatcha doin'?
How come I never see you around here anymore?
Hey, Stinky! Are you hidin'?
I can hear you in there so why don't you just open the door?
I know how you feel sometimes
The world can be a scary place
It's a hill you don't want to climb
You can take my hand and I'll lead the way
Hey, stinky, you're missing out
Please don't waste your entire life locked away in your room
Hey, stinky, how 'bout now?
The coast is clear so can I come by and see you real soon?
I know how you feel sometimes
The world can be a scary place
It's a hill you don't want to climb
You can take my hand and I'll lead the way
Don't be scared, I'm right behind you
You can start with baby steps
I know what you're going through
Focus on the sound of my voice
Take your time no need to rush
You can tune out all the noise
Hey, stinky, look outside
all your nerd friends have come out
to show you their support
Hey, stinky, I think it's time
Turn off your computer
and try out some actual sports
I know how you feel sometimes
The world can be a scary place
It's a hill you don't want to climb
You can take my hand and I'll lead the way
Don't be scared, I'm right behind you
You can start with baby steps
I know what you're going through
Focus on the sound of my voice
Take your time no need to rush
You can tune out all the noise
