A Bowl Of Rice - 顺子

作词：顺子

作曲：顺子/Joe B Baamil

Taking my little voyage again

Thinking back into my childhood land

Drinking the white milk she forced me to

Hershey's chocolate syrup on Sundays too

Pouring tasteless white milk into the sink

Hoping that grandma didn't see me doing it

Couldn't drink nothing without color in it

Hating colorless society and proving it

Watching too much tv for a Chinese girl

Living in a new country called America

Yes she's beautiful she's got her spacious skies

But what about the ugly parts the conquerors hide

A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

Shoving it down our hungry throats

A cup of tea is a cup of tears

Flooding down our thirsty throats

So I write a song to keep

The memories of you and me

It shall keep us warm at night

Even though you're out of sight

Being hit in first grade by a little black girl

I knew she felt trapped in her unjust world

She needed someone to beat

Because she too was being beat

By the same society I learned later dreaded me

Dreaded me dreaded me dreaded me

The eyeliner was blessed with made me feel superior

Watching sisters slice up theirs who felt inferior

Things are not the same when the east meets the west

A foggy glimpse is what they got of 美国beautiful west

A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

Shoving it down our hungry throats

A cup of tea is a cup of tears

Flooding down our thirsty throats

So I write a song to keep

The memories of you and me

It shall keep us warm at night

Even though you're out of sight

A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories

Shoving it down our hungry throats

A cup of tea is a cup of tears

Flooding down our thirsty throats

So I write a song to keep

The memories of you and me

It shall keep us warm at night

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight

Even though you're out of sight
