Lyrics

Day, oh so late,
Strangely the sun still shone
Oh, Asian boy - what are you on?

Day, oh so late,
Strangely the sun still shone
Oh, Asian boy - what drugs are you on?

Tooled-up Asian boy
Has come to take revenge
For the cruel, cold killing of his very best friend

Tooled-up Asian boy
Has come avenge the cruel, cold killing
Of his only friend

There's peace through our school
It's so quiet in the hall
It's a strange sign for one
Of what's to come

Tough and cold and pale
Oh, they may just impale you on railings
Oh, English boys - it must be wrong; three against one?

Brakes slammed and his gun jammed
And as far as I could tell
Brave Asian boy was dealt a blow and fell

I'm just passing through here
On my way to somewhere civilized
And maybe I'll even arrive
Maybe I'll even arrive?
