Sushit 03:09
SUSHIT He moved here with his family from Japan when he was 14. Small and shy, he was the perfect one for the cool guys to bully. His name is Roy. They used to call him Roy-Toy and blow a raspberry. The old pic from High School. The blonde cheerleaders in their pink tops and short white skirts are on parade, the cool guys of the football team cheer them up, betting on who will fuck who. Tommy-Boy and Gina-Girl, king and queen of the school right in the middle. So perfect, so unreachable. Roy had really not much to laugh back then – a rejected, lonely and miserable dirtbag baby. The Gladiator came out at all the cinemas and Roy Sr. thought it was a good idea to take Roy Jr. to watch it. Maximus Decimus Meridius' speech struck hard: “My name is Roy Lee, recognized player of Dungeons & Dragons, immigrant from Okinawa, bullied like the last dirtbag at the Great Valley High School! AND I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE, IN THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT!” Nowadays Roy owns the hottest trending Japanese restaurant in town. His Sushi is THE Sushi: The best of the best – simply addictive! Tommy-Boy and Gina-Girl are regulars – every Thursday evening, same table, same food. Despite the busy kitchen, Roy is always keen to prepare the food and serve their table himself. “Cool, guys, here you go with my special Sushit!” he usually says. They love Roy's special treatment and they always laugh because “Sushit” sounds so funny and ironic. When the music is over, turn off the light!

Swing Low 05:22
SWING LOW It’s a cold night in the heart of the city Out here on the frozen street And as I pause to write these words My train of thoughts is starting to go places quite deserted Let’s take a twisted family snapshot Before the daylight breaks I don’t even know how I got here But sometimes, y’ know, the road happens to be slightly diverted So now you want to be a riot and you’re acting all fine And your hunger is aggregated But all the fires behind those poles They can’t hide the fact that you’re all quite well sedated And I’m just one of you I guess And I am blessed and ashamed But all the smoke and the plastic flames They make me feel so calm and animated Calm and animated Where do we go, sweet fuckin’ chariot? Swing low! And now I’m driving a spike Through your corner of the picture But all the cracks in the shattered scene They won’t make your real world crumble any faster And as I stumble through this madness I find beauty here and there I’ll write my name upon what’s left of it So they know how to find me once we’re all departed So I collect my belongings and maybe some of yours, too I need to find some space I need to clear my head These blurry visions, they sometimes seem to take the best of me So I light up a cigarette And I take a deep breath As I’m trying to get away from it all And finally find some peace for just a split second One split fuckin’ second Where do we go, sweet fuckin’ chariot? Swing low!
