Made In China

You think you understand
When you feel this heart beating
Your face lights up a smile
You think it's beating for you

Not all broken hearts keep on beating
Some are thrown away, replaced,
Discarded for newer models
With longer life waranty

Some are traded in for mended ones
Second-hand models with lower mileage
Like this one that you feel beating
With your happy head on my chest

It was cheap, a real bargain,
Made in China, Shanghai, I think
It's a prototype model, brand new
Hard and durable, it's made of stone.
