Your English Is Good - Tokyo Police Club


Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote
If you know what's good for you

Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote
If you know what's good for you

These are the lines
That we straighten every year
And it's the second time
They mapped the constillations

And they sift for you by night
In the depth ...
Still trying to find stripes
Injustice is my middle name

''cause you dont need to change
Your future is with us
You dont need to change
Your future is with us

You look a wreck
Left your key inside the door
And my ripple chest
Across this black and white chess board

Your English is good
We can see it in your bones
In this neighbourhood
We 'aint driving you home

''cause you dont need to change
Your future is with us
You dont need to change
Your future is with us

Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote

Your English is good
Your English is good

Your English Is Good sounds more like a commentary on the federal Liberals getting into power due to the vote from the immigrant block, which guaranteed their win. Though, most of the immigrants had no idea who they were voting for. It's commentary on multiculturalism and the refrain of "Your English is good" is patronizing, as though Big Brother knows what is good for immigrants.
