Samuel Stein - Pidgin Talk Lyrics

I talk in this broken tongue
People hear what they expect
Think there's a world they must protect

I wear this badge of slavery
People could never understand
So there's a fashion they demand

There are some things that even I can't tell
Is this heaven or hell?
Is this where Lucifer fell?
There are some folks that even I can't read
Is this less than what I need?
Is there more that I could see?

I am a foreigner
In my homeland and here on my own land
Changed myself just to be damned by every man

I am an educated citizen
Teach myself all the wicked rules
Read so I don't become the fool I pretend to be
Pretend to be
Pretend to be
Pretend to be
Pretend to be

There are some things that even I can't tell
Is this heaven or hell?
Is this where Lucifer fell?
There are some folks that even I can't read
Is this less than what I need?
Is there more that I could see?
