about

This song is Elle's lived experience as a South East Asian in a western society.

lyrics

Obey
Comply
Model minority is a lie

Be the model minority
In this western society
Pull your weight
Serve their capitalist state

Remember to comply
If you want to qualify

Obey
Comply
The model minority is just another fucking lie

Ingrate
Why don't you assimilate
Not your model minority
In your colonial fantasy

You expect me to be
Part of your society
Play by your rules
Servitude

A good immigrant
A law abiding servant

(2x)
Obey
Comply
The model minority is another fucking lie

I'm trying to live my life
I don't wanna be your Asian wife
I'm not some exotic sex object
I deserve some respect
What did you expect?
You colonised my country
And you have displaced me
And now
you want me to be the model minority

Is this liberty
From oppressive society?
Did you save me from me?

Save me from my anger
Oh white saviour

(2x)
Obey
Comply
The model minority is just another fucking lie
