“Chinese Bombs” is an energetic, aggressive and fast homage to the late and legendary martial artist, philosopher, and movie actor Bruce Lee (1940-1973), who was such a great fighter that he was told to slow down his movements so the camera could catch them.
[Verse 1]
He makes an inner arm block then kicks from behind
The lights, they go off, but he can fight blind
'Cause he got the touch and he won't live long
He comes from Hong Kong, where justice is done
[Chorus]
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Won't somebody, won't somebody
Sink the place?
[Verse 2]
Got a call to go to SoHo, The Dragon said go
Let everyone know that you got the touch
You come from Hong Kong, where justice is done
And people are strong, but you won't live long
[Chorus]
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Bruce Lee comes, save the day
Bruce Lee comes, the Chinese way
