Maid in China

How many locks with no keys and no energy
How many times will you look up and never see
What is the reason you answer so painfully
I'm not there so you won't see me

This is the struggle the journey the day to day
Make it a good one a brave one the USA
The maid in China she's careful of what we say
I'm a dollar won't you spend me
I'm your problem won't you mend me

Propose a fact and a lie and the in between
Tell me I'm right then I'm wrong tell me what you mean
If there's a hint there's some glimpse of some silver screen
All my life I heard the voices

It's all a joke until you choke and you bloat like rice
Models of car and of trains and of private life
China's a card to be played when the pile's light

Look at me when you are speaking
Next time that you're here in Peking
Go ahead and have it your way
This is how we do it our way
I said I never saw her face
And I know of no disgrace

Slip her the knife and your life is held in the sway
Slip her the knife and your life is what you will pay
Slip her the knife and your life just might end today
Slip her the knife and your life just might end today
Slip her the knife and your life just might end today
Slip her the knife and your life just might end today

I'm not there so you won't see me
Tell me just how you'll defend me

Go ahead and have it your way
This is how we do it our way
