Roches - New York City Pakistan lyrics

rate me

I'm gonna work a couple a years here<br />

Then I'm gonna go home<br />

Where they treat women with respect<br />

And don't make 'em go out of the house and work<br />

That's how the home gets wrecked."<br />

<br />

If you want to meet a man from Pakistan<br />

You might try riding in a New York City taxi cab<br />

And if you are so inclined as to ask the man about his country<br />

I think that you will find it is a very different place<br />

From New York.<br />

I got in the cab and the man started to tell me about his<br />

Family<br />

And he said "Miss are you interested in my country?"<br />

And I said "Yes."<br />

So there we were and I found out about his country.<br />

"Well" he said "l come from a place that is so much more<br />

Relaxed than here" and he told me that I would not believe<br />

The difference<br />

And I said to him "How would you explain it to me?"<br />

And he said "l'm gonna work a couple a years here<br />

And then I'm gonna go home<br />

Where they treat women with respect<br />

And don't make 'em go out of the house and work."
