The Roches - New York City Pakistan lyrics

I'm gonna work a couple a years here

then I'm gonna go home

where they treat women with respect

and don't make 'em go out of the house and work

That's how the home gets wrecked."

If you want to meet a man from Pakistan

you might try riding in a New York City taxi cab

and if you are so inclined as to ask the man about his country

I think that you will find it is a very different place

from New York.

I got in the cab and the man started to tell me about his

family

and he said "Miss are you interested in my country?"

And I said "Yes."

So there we were and I found out about his country.

"Well" he said "l come from a place that is so much more

relaxed than here" and he told me that I would not believe

the difference

and I said to him "How would you explain it to me?"

And he said "l'm gonna work a couple a years here

and then I'm gonna go home

where they treat women with respect

and don't make 'em go out of the house and work."
