Lucy was born to Chinese Immigrants

          C
who came looking for a better world

          Gm
and they knew that she would be the best

      A                       Dm
they told her when she was a girl.

Dm
They saved and scrimped for private school

         C
and she excelled, pretty okay,

         Gm
but soon found herself quite alienated

A                     Dm
by the culture of the USA

   Bb              A
As she grew up she realized

Bb                A
who she wanted to be

        Dm
wasn't some genius scientist

        C
or some chair in the symphony

   Dm
so she did drugs and fought and spit

     C
and wore leather jackets and jeans

     Gm
and smoked in school and fucked the rules

           Bb               A              Dm

Charlie's folks came from China too,

C
some other part than mine,

Gm
And they raised him in the suburbs,

         A                Dm
and they made him fall in line

Dm
His job would be the family name,

   C
to bring it into the new world

    Gm
and raise it up and make it great

     A              Dm
and share it with a girl.

     Bb                  A
But Charlie he had other ideas

         Bb                  A
that his culture couldn't define

    Dm
He hated the other Asian boys

          C
they were weak and ????

   Dm
So he did drugs and played in bands

         C
and did illegal things to get paid

        Gm
and he didn't speak a word of Cantonese

Dm
These two Asian Renegades

C
grew up into the world

    Gm
to find out that they had adhered

        A                   Dm
to the lives they tried to avoid

Dm
And in their hearts they realized

C
who they wanted to be

     Gm
was lost out there, out there somewhere

Am                  Dm
waiting to set them free

Bb                           A
They turned their backs on their old lives

Bb            A
their family dutites

      Dm
they clawed at the silken curtains

    C
so they could finally see

    Dm
and on that quest they finally met

    C
and fell deeply in love

Gm
and in a pinch they got hitched

Bb                    A   Dm
and set off on their honeymoon
