I CAN PRONOUNCE XIU XIU CORRECTLY YOU POSER Lyrics

I learned a second language just to tell you

Once and for all that culture can be a costume

You just have to wear the clothes they give you in their own country

I'll be a white saviour and save them all

From the masters tools my ancestors created

I'll smash them all by choosing to post

Never again on Instagram, I'll never use Threads

I'll lament daily on Weixin, Douyin and the Little Book Red

Because if I shout in Chinese long enough

They'll throw me in a dirty cell

Call me a traitor, well who could blame them?

I never did it for the fortune, glory or fame

I just wanted to be a footnote on page six

Of the digital edition of The Age

Written by their asian affairs expert

The horror of solitude will sting

As my life is misrepresented by a comms graduate

Who still pronounces the city Nanking
