Lyrics
Japan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship thats going nowhere
If you stop, youll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Everybody wants to go to californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone elses kids and wife
But they'll be bringing you the same old strife
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake you
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say 'thank you'
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody just hold hands.
