THERE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE AND HIS NAME WASN'T MIKE,
  HE READ A BOOK ON CHINA AND FOUND S0METHING THAT HE DIDN'T LIKE.
  HE NEVER TOLD US WHAT IT WAS,
  HE ONLY TOLD WHAT IT DOES INSIDE HIS MIND,
  AND NOW THE MAN IS SCARED,
  AND JUST TO THINK THAT YESTERDAY HE DIDNíT EVEN CARE.
  MY FRIEND IS AFRAID OF CHINA,
  HE'S BEING HONEST ABOUT THINGS THAT FRIGHTEN HIM.
  MY FRIEND IS AFRAID OF CHINA,
  ITíS HARD TO DEFINE-UH, BUT IF YOU'RE IN HIS CHINA
  THEN YOU KNOW HE'S GONNA HATE YOU, YEAH HE'S GONNA HATE YOU! HATE! YOU!
  
  I FIND MYSELF TO BE A REASONABLE GUY,
  BUT NOW THIS CHINA HAS GOT ME WORRIED AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY.
  I THINK I SAW IT IN A DREAM,
  ANOTHER TWISTO IN A STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
  DON'T DOUBT MY SANITY,
  I TRY TO BE SUBJECTIVE, BUT ITS HAPPENING TO ME. (YEAH)
  NOW I'M AFRAID OF CHINA,
  IíM BEING HONEST ABOUT THINGS THAT BOTHER ME,
  AND I'M AFRAID OF CHINA,
  ITíS HATRED AND ITíS MINE-UH, AND IF YOUíRE IN MY CHINA
  THEN YOU KNOW I'M GONNA HATE YOU, GOD I'M GONNA HATE YOU! HATE! YOU!
  
  LETíS GET AFRAID OF CHINA, LETíS GET AFRAID OF CHINA,
  LETíS GET AFRAID OF CHINA, LETíS GET AFRAID OF CHINA, AHH... AHH...
  
  LETíS TRY TO GET TOGETHER, SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT,
  COMMUMCANON IS THE KEY T0 OVERCOMING FEAR AND HATE,
  IT SOUNDS CLICHE. I KNOW,
  BUT IF YOUíRE NEVER GOING T0 OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH,
  THAT LINE IS OH-SO TRUE.
  LETíS TRY TO GET THIS OVER, IíVE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. (YEAH)
  AND WE'RE AFRAID OF CHINA,
  WE'RE BEING HONEST ABOUT THINGS THAT MAKE US SICK,
  AND WEíRE AFRAID OF CHINA,
  DONíT TRY TO CROSS THAT LINE-UH, 'COS IF YOU'RE IN OUR CHINA
  THEN YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA HATE YOU, YEAH WE'RE GONNA HATE YOU!
  HATE YOU! HATE YOU! YOU! YOU!
