From Korea

Mike Park

A new acquaintance I met last week
Used the word nigger in casual speak.
He said don't worry
Your not like them
You may be Chinese but your just like me.

Screw this I'm leaving
I don't need a racist friend
And I'm not like you
I'm from Korea
My eyes are small
But your eyes are closed.

Another day, another emotion
Playing a game he called me a fag
I said don't be an ignorant fool
You must be gay with your prejudice rules.

Screw this I'm leaving
I don't need a racist friend
And I'm not like you
I'm from Korea
My eyes are small
But your eyes are closed.

Equate the words
Express yourself
Lift up your arms.
Today, starting now this ain't no fabled story here now.

I'm not like you
I'm from Korea
My eyes are small
But your eyes are closed

He certainly did earn that reputation.

The Spy

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
