N8 - No Gaijins Lyrics

Six foreign tourists in an unfamiliar place
Six foreign tourists seeking a friendly face
Six foreign tourists feeling a cold air
With these stares, locals cautious telling each other beware
Six foreign tourists lost in the crowded space
Six foreign tourists need loving and embrace
Six foreign tourists judged cruelly as they say
No gaijins are welcome they tell you to stay away
Excuse me are there seats free in your izakaya
Excuse me can we have entry in your sauna
This big lineup is weird what placement in your queue
Letting locals behind get in before you
What you insinuating, nothing patiently waiting
But I think we notice something is wrong but we can't say it
Conservative attitudes under layers of racist
It's a challenge it's hidden under all this politeness
It's subtle but deep down you can feel uninvited
Prejudice brewing under all of the brightness
Locals all threatening
And the stares are all menacing
But anything to maintain all of this harmony right
Anything to maintain all this facade right
I am heartbroken by what I love
A beautiful country with bleak obstacles it's tough
Six foreign tourists in an unfamiliar place
Six foreign tourists seeking a friendly face
Six foreign tourists feeling a cold air
With these stares, locals cautious telling each other beware
Six foreign tourists lost in the crowded space
Six foreign tourists need loving and embrace
Six foreign tourists judged cruelly as they say
No gaijins are welcome they tell you to stay away
To overcome xenophobia and to rise above
A resistance to change so it's never enough
The locals smile, they're kindhearted and empathetic
But how much is that sincere and real authentic
It's seeped into every facet in here
Workplace, street interactions as they appear
F*cking gaijin do you speak Japanese
Cause if you don't, get the f*ck out my store
We don't partake in business with none of your kind anymore
Maybe you're better off scramming over to Kabukicho
And grab a drink at the HUB, they always have open doors
To people of your kind the foreigners we want to ignore
I'm sorry if you feel that way even if I carry yens
And if I want to live in Tokyo won't you let me rent
I guess for me there's extra hoops to jump no way to prevent
My fairyland Japan but some things are messed up no offence
But we'll just brush it off
Six foreign tourists in an unfamiliar place
Six foreign tourists seeking a friendly face
Six foreign tourists feeling a cold air
With these stares, locals cautious telling each other beware
Six foreign tourists lost in the crowded space
Six foreign tourists need loving and embrace
Six foreign tourists judged cruelly as they say
No gaijins are welcome they tell you to stay away
