The itchy onion
There's no china in the bible
John chinaman
The white mountain
The blood and the shit
Chewed up, spit out, and stepped on
The tiger and the fox
They don't pay us enough to think
Chinese boxing
If you're going to bow, bow low
Learn to endure, or hire a bodyguard
The chinese connection
Not how we do business
If you don't see blood, you didn't come to play
Not for a drink, a f*ck, or a g**damn prayer
To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail
If you wait by the river long enough
All enemies, foreign and domestic
Enter the dragon
Man on the wall
Exactly the wrong time to get proud
Anything short of a blow to the head
No time for f*cking chemistry
In chinatown, no one thinks about forever
Whiskey and sticky and all the rest can wait
A soft heart won't do you no favors
Gotta be crooked to get along in a crooked world
You know when you're losing a fight
All of death is a going home
A window of f*cking opportunity
