Save Me From Manila

from Avant Garage: WRECKENROLL by the SLEEPYH3ADS

lyrics

In the land of cheap beer Flowing in the gutter
And dead barbecues That keep the hungry alive
Where the poor are fat With unemployment and hunger I'm quite lucky not to be like that As I study in a cheap school For a Diploma
in Slavery To go abroad where crumbs are dollars And poverty can't reach me Canada, save me from Manila America, save me from Manila Arabia, save from Manila If I could reach ya... I dreamed I could At least live like them And my cheap, cheap name Will be on the
passport I will someday be expensive And I'm gonna change the way I live No more hunger for dinner And drunkards and squatter dreamers On the rusted junk railroad horizon And then one day I was unlucky I turned out to be A refugee (!) 'Cause an illegal recruiter
Got my body (sic) Now I'm living in a Third World somewhere But at least it's not worse Than living there (in Manila)... And do you know where I am? I'm in Cambodia! It saved me from Manila Cambodia saved me from Manila I have reached ya! (Help me, illegal recruiter
Make me an airplane On fake paper I'm a carabao there A human being here In Cambodia Save me from Manila!)
