Japanese Exchange Student Lyrics by The Rocket Summer

Of Men and Angels

0

I might as well be a Japanese exchange student
Because people wanna know me right when I show up
But then the thrill wears off, and then I'm alone
Until Beyonce rolls through town and they think that
I can call and score them a ticket - when I can't

Because I don't know her, like you don't know me
It's a lonely world when it's all that you see
It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me
And this gets lonely

I might as well be a Japanese exchange student
Because people wanna know me right when I show up
But then the thrill wears off, and then I'm alone
Until Paul McCartney rolls through town and they think that
I can get them in on the guest list - when I can't

Because I don't know him, like you don't know me
It's a lonely thing when it's all that you see
It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me
And this gets lonely

Last year I got the cover and my phone wouldn't
Stop ringing and ringing
They called more than my mother, and that is saying something
Well, lately it's been quiet and my phone just picks up dust calls
"It's all about who you know"
But you don't really have to know anyone

So be nice to the Japanese exchange students
Because people wanna know them right when they show up
You may have found yourself in a similar place
Where you found you looked around
And just saw loads of empty space
And you were thinking how
You don't know them, like they don't know you
And it's a lonely feeling after all that you do
Got a good heart, got a good soul...
What must I do to prove it anymore?
I got friends in high and low places and it's all the same to me

I love the Japanese, I love the Japanese
Those from Japan and overseas
I love the Japanese, do you love the Japanese?
Those from Japan and overseas
Those from Japan and overseas, like me
