The place that we call home

The Europeans took our freedom

And left us all to roam 

They forced us to buy their products,

taking all our spices and pride

We wished to be free from them

And started the Boxer Rebellion fight

We were oppressed, defeated, gone

Until we fought to be free once again

is for Asia

is for Boxer Rebellion

The glorious, great revolt

We ultimately failed

But we got some hits in 

is for China

The greatest country in the world

We were unfairly attacked by the British

And forced to buy their goods

We bought all their opium

And gave them our spices

We didn't want this at all

and they won't let us raise our prices

We are the Chinese, great, proud, strong

But we become weak, for the British are stronger.

is for Diaspora

The mass immigrations

 All to better places 

We sought good work, but we were refused

We tried to work in America, on the railroads and fields

We were forced to turn back

Because of the Chinese Immigration Act

And those who did make it, were treated bad.

is for English

Who conquered much of Asia

They want us to buy their drugs

And won't give anything in return

They take all our goods

Including spices and others

They are our main antagonizors

And we wished to stop their trade

We fought to stop Opium

But we ultimately failed

We slowly grew much weaker

While the British grew strong

is for France

Who trades with some of China

They own much of Vietnam

And Laos, and Siam.

is for Goods

Which Europe greatly wants

They don't hesitate to get what they want

But not what they deserve

They wish to oppress us all

And make us buy their drugs

We wish to not do that

But they have oppressed our rising up.

is for Humanitarianism

One reason Europe came to us

They wished to save us from poverty and sin

But they failed because of Opium

is for India

That land to the West

Britain took it over

and forced them to make our opium

is for Japan

Traitors of the East

They took all of Korea just because they could

And they wanted China too

is for Korea

Taken over by Japan

They just wanted to be left alone

But no one would let them.

is for Letters

We've sent many to the English, asking them to          leave

But they want lots of stuff

And will not leave  

is for Meiji

The impressive Japanese Restoration

They very quickly industrialized

And rapidly became a world power

They threw of their oppressive government

And they used the right way; the Emperor

They took over poor Korea

While we were taken over by Europe.

is for New Imperialism

The type that we were conquered by

The Europeans pretended to be trading

But they were really gaining land

is for Opium

Brought here by the outsiders

Looking to sell these drugs to us 

And to make us weak and bitter

We fought one time, against these drugs

The British fired their guns 

Our war lost, our people gone

Under the Influence, forever.

is for Prices

Europeans charge whatever they want

They sell us their Opium

At a very high cost

They buy our goods for cheap

And they oppress us with drugs

But we will take our liberty back

Once and for all
