Wake Up

Dawen

Flip thru the paper
turn on the tele
go to a movie

Just because you saw the movie Crouching Tiger
Doesn't mean that I know kung-fu
And just because Mr. Yan has an accent
Doesn't mean that I've got one too
People tell me I "speak good English"
Or that I'm "too thin to be Bruce Lee"
Where do they get their preconceptions
Of what I'm supposed to be?

flip thru the paper
turn on the tele
go to a movie
(it's in the tv/movie/paper)

(Chorus)
Wake up, wake up! This just in!
I'm being judged by the color of my skin
Wake up, wake up! That's not news
I'm not surprised, I just can't get used to it

Yes, I know that my face might be yellow
But that doesn't mean I'll give you SARS
And I know that my eyes might be slanted
And that they seem closed from far away-
People say "Go back to where you came from!"
I dunno what that's supposed to mean
Someone told me "all men are equal"
But I guess that's just a dream

(Chorus)

Flip thru the paper
turn on the tele
go to a movie

I can't get used to it
I won't get used to it
I can't get used to it

I won't get used to it
I just can't get used to being generalized
Can't get used to being stereotyped
Can't get used to being generalized
Can't get used to being stereotyped
I just can't get used to it!
