    SUBMISSIVE
    Music and Lyrics by Magdalen Hsu-Li
    C.1997 F.H.A.A.S.S Music

    I should have known
    The way he talked about
    His scathing views on gays and lesbians
    He didn’t like em
    He never had
    Though something told me not to fear he wasn’t really all that bad
    Just cynical and underpaid
    Like all the years had never filled some need
    I really thought he was my friend
    Until one day he opened up and said to me

    Why can’t you be submissive
    Like you Asian girls should be
    Said one minority to another minority
    A dozen thoughts run through my head
    Oh God how can this be?
    Why can’t you be submissive
    Like you Asian girls should be

    Now ladies…gents!
    Don’t get me wrong
    It’s not that I hate everyone
    I only want to shed some light
    In this world we’re living on
    So why is it that in my country
    They teach you with their gun and their fist?
    So why is it that almost everyone I know is really pissed?

    Why can’t you be submissive
    Like you Asian girls should be
    An aging old black music man
    That’s what he said to me
    Are you an asshole or a preacher
    To tell me how to be
    Why can’t you be submissive
    Like you Asian girls should be

    Because according to statistics
    The world has grown up a bit
    It’s really come a ways despite it’s lack of conciousness
    Why can’t I be submissive like us Asian girls should be?
    Look into my eyes
    And tell me what you see

    I see a girl who lived in fear who had to learn how to be strong
    I see a girl who lived in fear and now who turns it into song
    I see a girl whose not afraid to open up her face and sing
    I see a girl who wants a world that’s a better place for living in

    Why can’t you be submissive?
    Why can’t you be submissive ?
    Why can’t you be submissive ?
    Why can’t you be?

    Why can’t you be?
    Why cant you be?
    Why can’t YOU be?
