Japan Lyrics

Life is like a rollercoaster
it does flips and throws you over
board your ship thats going nowhere
if you stop, youll end up somewhere

everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody, just hold hands

everybody wants to go to californ-i-a
to live their life on a sunny day
dreaming of someone elses wife and kids (kids and wife)
but they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)

everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody, just hold hands.

everybody wants to go to jamaica
queens in drag will surely fake you
take you home, and then they'll rape you
but you like it, so say 'thank you'

everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody, just hold hands.

now, everybody wants to go to iraq
but once they go, they dont come back
bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
we might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.

everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody wants to go to japan
everybody just hold hands.

listen to this song at disneyland. ...disturbing.

Cover art for Japan lyrics by CocoRosie

lesbian friend recently told me that it's illegal to be gay in jamaica... i immediately thought of this song... that verse definitely makes a lot more sense to me now. theoretically every person in jamaica is straight, so any homosexual relationships would for legal reasons be classified as 'rape' (but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, aka 'say thank you')

i absolutely adore this song

I love the sound of this song, but these lyrics are disturbing:

"everybody wants to go to jamaica queens in drag will surely fake you take you home, and then they'll rape you but you like it, so say 'thank you'"

I'd really like to know what they intended by these words.

They mean exactly what they say. Crossdressing men fooling you to believe that they're women, and when you go with them to their place thinking you'll get lucky, they surprise you. I don't think it gets more self explanatory than that.
