Song Fight Lyric Archive

been to china, been to china
been and gone

and I never meant to visit
I stayed 35 miles off the coast
by international convention, that isn't even close

been to china, been to china
been and gone

I told my crewmates, erase those databases
all those Big Red Top 40 tapes and cellphone traces
we don't want to have a speck of that when we land
and as we fell I cried out mayday
I don't know how we landed safely
I knelt and held the soil of china in my hand

been to china, been to china
been and gone, been and gone

then it turns out that my faulknerian idiot-manchild commander-in-chief
is using me to embark on a brand new cold war
and if it ever happens that he's the one incarcerated overseas
and he's relying on me to get him out, gonna even up that score

etc.
