UT Kirin - Chinese American Lyrics

Girl in the Yale sweater
Why did you come out to Contra Costa?
Was it the warmer than average weather?
Or because New Haven's as dry as Sonoma?
I don't doubt you
I'd just like to know about you
Was your father a wealthy Wall Street investor?
Takes the train in at quarter to 7
Sister's a senior in Kappa Kappa
You weren't about that, preferred marijuana
Backpack with frayed straps, headphones on Telegraph
What's in your ears?
"Trans-era Death Cab"
16 was rough but now you're in 16 hours
Of French literature and art history
Protests made headlines and smoke, but you didn't go
Rather speak on the phone to your folks back at home
in Chinese American
The West Coast is rich with violins
But you had to quit; you were too violent
You were a riot
Your great grandfather was paid by the mile
Lined Vanderbilt's pockets
And lined up to die in the desert
So who had it better?
Girl in the Yale sweater
I never saw you in the spring semester
I hope that Pascal and pastels weren't too stressful
I choose to believe you're abroad a la Rive Gauche
