This is my Western Promise!
"Oh Mystical East, on old postcards
Your childhood dreams and energies
Your temple gardens, old world charm
An ancient culture, torn and scarred..."
Somewhere a Chinese lad gets laid because some fangirl mistakes him for being Japanese.
"Oh Mystical East, you've lost your way
Your rising sun shall rise again!
My Western world gives out her hand
A victor's help to your fallen land..."
Somewhere a Japanese kid blows his brains out because he failed Maths.
"Mystical East, all taxicabs
All ultra-neon, sign of the times
Your Buddha zen and Christian man
All minions to Messiah Pepsi can!"
...and we still idolise the Samurai and the Ninja...
