Testi

California used to dream
Called it home ’til seventeen
Grew up hearing Japanese
Brown eyes blue jeans
Then the harbor felt the hit
Though I was born American
Suddenly, I’m counterfeit
In the land of the free
1942
History to you
Took our homes in California
Locked up out the blue
1942
Time will tell the truth
Generations came before us
I am one of you
Built with paper thin walls
Sleeping cots and coal stoves
Barbed wire no doors
Shot down if we try to leave
Using the artillery
Of fear and inconsistency
Echoing in history
And i don’t know what to believe
the year 1942
before that in my youth
i thought that i was one of you
at least a little bit
i knew that i was different
but i’m the same kid
with my blue jeans innocent
at war with the land
where the sun shines through
but i only know our flag
i was born here too
my parents lost the laundromat
and now we’re on a bus
through the desert of the soul
Where the hope dried up
feeling alone and scared even now as were together
going to be locked in topaz
as i look at the sun drenched sky i wonder why
I know a little bit, but I still feel like I could cry
but i’m strong for our mamma and you
and it scarred me
sometimes in my life i was blue
red and white wine to sooth me
and i don’t wanna be a threat
so i tried to act goofy
aloof just to put you at ease
but through it all
in a good life i believe
but afterward i stayed here
i was born here i pray here
i played here
nothing else known but betrayed here still
1942
History to you
Took our homes in California
Locked up out the blue
1942
Time will tell the truth
Generations came before us
I am one of you
