about

This song was inspired by the book, "Beijing Payback" by Daniel Nieh.

lyrics

everyone i meet
has a secret agenda
(uh huh)
and we’re still waiting
on the cultural revolution
(you promised)
it’s all messed up
this happy year
and my head is filled with
delusions of grandeur

thirteen hours and a beijing payback
it may seem far
but who the hell were you?
i thought i knew
i maybe die
or i learn something new
and so far
you’re no peking

some cash, a gun
a passport and questions
(boys, avenge me)
squeezing all i can
out of this life’s harder lessons
(should i just go back to school?)
i’m out of my depth
and nothing is fine
take it one time
to the sanity borderline

(here’s something like a guitar)

betting my life on a little payback
or finding out
just who you really were
can i be sure?
we’re closer now that you’re completely gone
this could go wrong
so long san dimas
