No why Lao wai

about

Lao Wai is a term in China for foreigners. It is yelled at you almost everywhere you go. No matter how many years you live in China, how well you speak the language, or that you're married to a Chinese person with half Chinese children...you are NEVER allowed to forget that you are different and don't really belong here. But it isn't racist (they insist).

lyrics

Too many people crowding me
There's nothing here for you to see
I'm just a man who bleeds like you
So when I've had a shitty day
You better stay the fuck away
Don't take my picture I don't know you

No I don't mean to be a dick
But when I'm tired or feeling sick
And I just wanna stay at home
I'm going to work and running late
And things at home are such a state
No I don't wanna teach your kids
And I won't add you to my phone

No why lao wai
No why lao wai
No try no die

No I don't mean to be a dick
But when I'm tired or feeling sick
And I just wanna stay at home
I'm going to work and running late
And things at home are such a state
No I don't wanna teach your kids
And I won't add you to my phone

No why lao wai
No why lao wai
No try no die
No why lao wai
No why lao wai
No try no die
No why lao wai
No try no die
No why lao wai
