all the short asian people
who live by me
wear cool straw hats
on their way to the cannery
straw hats are cool
cute round pyramids
well-placed on their heads
they left their country
cz the yellows were reds
straw hats are cool
straw hats are cool
fate's on their brow
woven by hand
from bamboo grass
that grew in a different land
standing under their hats
they'll sometimes say hi
their families burn their hats
when one of them dies
straw hats are cool
there's a straw fire burning
the smoke hurts my eyes
when the men with the baseball bats
come to take more lives
