I wrote this song out of my experience. It's like my biography.
music and word by T. Nakayama

The fat school teacher told me
He knew I would end up nothing.
He said "you are crazy, son, you might as well stop your dreaming
Go to a good school
Be what people want you to be.
You're a failure, have no future."
Then I said "thanks for preaching, sir, but to hell with it"
And I packed my bags and ran to America
I was looking for a big new world
I wanted to live my dream in America
I was looking for my true self in me
The dark business man told me
A man should go to work every day
He said "you're lazy
Go get your suit and tie right away
Have a steady job
Be useful to society
Just get real, forget your dream"
Then I said "thanks for preaching, sir, but to hell with it"
chorus: repeats
Who are you to judge me?
Why the hell do you preach to me?
Get your big nose out of my dream.
Mind your business,sir.
A narrow street. A narrow room.
I said good-bye to them
I go my way
Whatever they say
'cause I'm free
Thank you, gentlemen-Sayonara.
