We don't care if you stay here.
We don't care if you stay.
We don't need your pity. We don't need your money.
Wait. Your money's OK.
We don't care if you stay.
We just came here to play.
Don't walk away.

Your Name

There's only one thing running through my brain.
I want to say I'm not the same
as any other boys with lines this lame.
I love you but what's your name?
There's only one thing running through my brain.
Before your taxi pulls away.
There's just one thing I got to say.
I love you but what's your name?
I love you, love you, love you. What's your name?

All Pigs Will Die

"All pigs will die," she told me.
That's what she left me with.
For all the good that's done me.
She took our future with her.
Now it's only me that's hungry.
At least I hope that's true.
"All pigs will die," she told me.
All pigs will die, die, die.
"All pigs will die," I told him.
At least I hope that's true.
I want us to be together.
Not just the two of us will.
Things have not worked out yet, so
I am waiting here still.
"All pigs will die," I told him.
All pigs will die, die, die.
All pigs will die, my son.
We kill to feed our family.
I have provided for you
and now it is your turn.
I hear the whispers, father.
They're saying we are the pigs.
All pigs will die, my father.
All pigs will die, die, die.
All pigs will die, my darling.
All pigs will die, my father.

I don't want to go to church anymore.
Every time I step inside that door,
I keep my eyes nailed to the floor.
I feel his on me. I can't take any more.
I wish that priest would just leave me alone.
Sorry, baby Jesus, but you're on your own.
It hurts when I get down on my knees.
I don't know why I say, "Forgive me, please."
I keep down low but I can't hide anywhere.
He can see right through my underwear.
I wish that God would just leave me alone.
Sorry, baby Jesus, but you're on your own.
Mama, don't take me to church anymore.
Mama, don't make me go to church anymore.

Where did you go, Ms. China Lee?
Did you ever go back to your family?

Maybe I'd see you out there in the street.

You could have been inside real magazines.

I guess you're older now.
It doesn't matter much to me.
I've been waiting for you so long
to do those things with me.
I hope you never died
and never got HIV.
I hope you're still alive
and never got HIV.

Michelle Marie, go home.
There's nothing for you to see.
Your mother's waiting for you.
She ain't expecting me.
Michelle Marie, I'll be good
if you just tell me to leave.
When sunlight hits your face,
you're younger than you seem.
Don't be mad or misunderstand.
You're still much younger than me.
Michelle Marie, I know this wasn't your dream
nor your family's,
but I can't make pretty songs
for you to sing.
I hope to hear that some day
you're back in the Philippines.

Sailing Little Girls
03:49

Just like any other day,
I was walking around.
Got to the river.
You won't believe what I found.
Little baby girls
floating out to the sound.
Guess that's where they go
and why there ain't none in town.
Hey, little girl, you're gonna travel the world.
Are you sailing little girls?
Hey, little girls, you're gonna travel the world.
Sailing little girls.
That's when I heard
a mama say to her girl,
"You should've been a boy.
Say goodbye to this world.
Sorry," she said
and then she set her afloat.
Don't be sorry, Mama.
I wish that I could go.
Hey, little girls, you're gonna travel the world.
You're a sailing little girls.
Hey, little girl, you're gonna travel the world.
A sailing little girl.
Life ain't fair.
Guess that's the way that it goes.
Where do they all end up?
I guess that only they know.
Maybe someday
I too will be able to roam.
For now I watch and wait
until the mothers go home.
They're saying to their girls,
"Say goodbye to this world."
They're sailing their little girls.

Dusty rays of sunshine wake me every day.
First I look around to see if you've gone away.
I like it when you're still here, Bema. Can't you stay?
'Cause I can't go outside with you when you go run and play.
Sometimes I feel your tiny fingers crawling up my back.
Close my eyes and smile and go back to sleep.
Don't slip outside the window unless you're coming back.
I can't imagine never seeing you here again.
I know you got to go but maybe could you stay?
Just a little longer. There are games we can play.
No, I don't want to keep you. Go enjoy your day.
I'll get out of here and join you when I find a way.
Don't slip outside the window unless you're coming back.
I can't imagine never seeing you here again.
Sometimes I feel your tiny fingers crawling up my back.
Close my eyes and smile and go back to sleep.

When you were smiling, I lost my mouth.
Now she wants to dance with me. I'm lost right now.
She don't even like me. She just wants out.
Please come rescue me. I'm lost right now.
I must be dreaming. Why do they want me now?
My body's moving. I don't know how.
My neck is tingling. Air from your mouth.
Why am I leaving? Your smile hurts. Ow.
You look so grown up as I walk out.
I wished you'd danced with me. It's too late now.
My neck's still tingling. Air from your mouth.
Nothing else matters tonight.

You're so pretty to me.
Let's make some ugly babies.
How did you get that nose?
How did you get those eyes?
How did you get that face?
How did they make it smile?
Let's make some ugly babies.
You can't hide your DNA.
You can't hide your DNA from us forever.
What are we waiting for?
Let's make some ugly babies.

Radiation. It's in the water.
It's in the TV that puts you to bed.
Masturbation. They say you oughtta
if you don't want to end up dead.
Microwaves keep me awake at night.
I shut my phone off and bury it deep outside.
I'm not a madman. It's in the air.
Look around you. Cancer everywhere.
Everyone's got cancer.
Radiation. It's it in the water.
It's in the sea. Can't you see?
I touched myself again this morning
and found a lump right inside of me.
Everyone's got cancer.
I've got mine.

Sophia. She was a trophy wife.
Sophia. She was a dopey wife.
Sophia, I thought you were supposed to be wise.
Didn't you know, I have two eyes?
Sophia, I found a dirty knife
and now I got your tongue and eyes.
Should've stayed where I left her.
Now she's no choice in the matter.
I gave you everything you wanted, didn't I?
Everything you ever needed, didn't I?
Sophia, I thought you were supposed to be wise.
That means not telling lies.
Now I'll never hear you cry.
I'll never get to hear you cry.
I had to keep what's mine.

Baba, de ce вы stați acolo?
N-ați văzut că gheața e pe strada?
De ce nimeni nu vă ajută?
Sculați-vă degrabă. Este frig afară.
Baba, de ce dormiți pe strada?
De ce nimeni nu vă ajută?
Всегда папа мне ховорил что
cu socialismul nu se poate așa.
Baba, sunteți oleacă grasă.
Încetișor. Peste tot e gheața.
Rachiule, te văd în punga.
Rachiule, de ce ești acolo?

Barbie Dolls Busan, South Korea
We live in a big city. It has many people. There are many buildings and many cars. They are all starting to look the same. Except Barbie Dolls. We are special.
Barbie Dolls recommends:
If you don't already know them, they're pretty great. Especially if you like a little surf and jangle with your indie music.
go to album
Some wild rock 'n' roll from the mean streets of Busan. There's a little rockabilly and punk in there as well.
