Gum is snapping, are you listening,
On the sidewalk, puke is glistening
A beautiful sight,
Just step to the right.
Walking in a crappy wonderland.

Gone away is our pension,
Here to stay is corruption
The boss sings a song,
We know that it�s wrong,
Walking in a crappy foreign land.

Out in public we can meet a local,
Then pretend that he is not too blunt

He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you should mind your business,
Meddling runt.

Eleventh month we�ll be tired,
Wondering if we�ll be fired
Pretty afraid,
That we won�t get paid,
Walking in a crappy foreign land.

Out in public we can meet a local,
And pretend that he's no English leech
We'll have lots of fun with mister local,
Until you realize that it�s to teach.

Look a foreigner, ain't it thrilling,
Xenophobe, who you fooling
We'll frolic and play, the Korean way,
Walking in a crappy foreign land.

And pretend that she's no English leech

azumas pushing on the subway
wearing clothes someone threw away

their faces are bright
they are ready to fight

walking in a crappy foreign land


everyone smells just like kimchi
drunk men sing while they go pee pee
jack frost is afraid
cause he just got laid
by miss kim who might give him a disease
* sorry boss penguin, and good luck

Hooray for creative sensationalizing.......?

I applaud your effort to string your thoughts together in a more interesting manner than the all-too-common "I h8s Korea!!111oneone", but a dancing monkey is still just a monkey...

Thanks for the dance. Wink
