[Verse 1]
Dm
Lucy was born to Chinese Immigrants
C
who came looking for a better world
Gm
and they knew that she would be the best
A Dm
they told her when she was a girl.
Dm
They saved and scrimped for private school
C
and she excelled, pretty okay,
Gm
but soon found herself quite alienated
A Dm
by the culture of the USA
Bb A
As she grew up she realized
Bb A
who she wanted to be
Dm
wasn't some genius scientist
C
or some chair in the symphony
Dm
so she did drugs and fought and spit
C
and wore leather jackets and jeans
Gm
and smoked in school and fucked the rules
Bb A Dm
she was a First Generation Asian American Renegade
[Chorus]
C F
First Generation Asian American Renegade
Bb A Dm
She was a First Generation Asian American Renegade
[Verse 2]
Dm
Charlie's folks came from China too,
C
some other part than mine,
Gm
And they raised him in the suburbs,
A Dm
and they made him fall in line
Dm
His job would be the family name,
C
to bring it into the new world
Gm
and raise it up and make it great
A Dm
and share it with a girl.
Bb A
But Charlie he had other ideas
Bb A
that his culture couldn't define
Dm
He hated the other Asian boys
C
they were weak and ????
Dm
So he did drugs and played in bands
C
and did illegal things to get paid
Gm
and he didn't speak a word of Cantonese
Bb A Dm
he was a First Generation Asian American Renegade
[Chorus]
C F
First Generation Asian American Renegade
Bb A Dm
He was a First Generation Asian American Renegade
[Bridge]
Dm
These two Asian Renegades
C
grew up into the world
Gm
to find out that they had adhered
A Dm
to the lives they tried to avoid
Dm
And in their hearts they realized
C
who they wanted to be
Gm
was lost out there, out there somewhere
Am Dm
waiting to set them free
Bb A
They turned their backs on their old lives
Bb A
their family dutites
Dm
they clawed at the silken curtains
C
so they could finally see
Dm
and on that quest they finally met
C
and fell deeply in love
Gm
and in a pinch they got hitched
Bb A Dm
and set off on their honeymoon
[Chorus]
C F
They were First Generation Asian American Renegades
Bb A Dm
They were First Generation Asian American Renegades
C F
They were First Generation Asian American Renegades
Bb A Dm
They were First Generation Asian American Renegades
