[G#]
We are the Khais of the Khais [C#] of Thaksin [G#] Born in the era of the desperate and the decline
Raised by the bastards of 1969
[C#]
My name is Sawang, or Long Ho Sun, proud of what was my shrine
[C#] Raised in the [G#] era of the [C#] rising sun, who raised me, [G#] forget all about it
I am a nation, [C#] a worker, a pride, I get through the [G#] status quo
[C#m] This is all I am, that I'll meet [C#] soon, with them, it's all that I [G#] have for sure
[C#]
I'm wild with my pride and I show some of it, I've given my all and my soul
I'm trusting my fingers, I'm lighting my teeth, I'm feeling I have tennis [G#] control
I've been through the edge and I've felt okay, I've overcome the slump and [G#m] I've prepared
[C#] I've started a way, I'm wasting my time, I'm waiting [G#] for the day
[F#] Let's live a day, [F#] free and [C#] to obey
It's all that's right and [F#] fair, while some got to [G#] lie
[C#]
[Cm] [Fm] [A#m] [G#]
[F#] [A] [C#]
Oh dream, [C] America dream, [G#] I can't even [F#] see it, [A] the light's early [C#] dawn
Oh scream,
[C] America [A#] scream, [G#] do we watch [F#] the Imperial [N] Zen Kong?
