The bomb has been ticking since I can remember

Eyes torn wide as children are taught games of fear

Chink eyed devils from across the great red sea

Come to take moms and pops jobs that we hold so dear

 I hear little jimmy talk of how his grandfather fought in Nam

Standing tall murdering village children thought Viet Cong

Proud Americans watch the little black boys robbing Chinese deliveries                  

It’s ok, because they aren’t human and they don’t belong

Or at least that’s what ads of our futuristic Chinese rulers show

Brought on by clapping students thinking they are in Transformers 3

Don’t worry it’s just what another responsible thing the Tea Party has to say

We aren’t fascists just race baiting bigots who want to be free

Now that the lines have been separated, Black and White are still the norm

We can place the rest of red, yellow, and tan crayons to the back of the box

 Cause when the railroads do not need more victims of forgotten slavery

Coolies with ancient Chinese secrets to wipe the dirt from rich white socks

Passing down haunting memories, reminding us of the perpetual foreigner

It is OK that paper sons never existed and the exclusion of a race was a fairy tale

The scenes have been set through guns aimed inward for your protection at Manzanaar

Cause this ticking has been going on for a long time and this bomb will be without fail
