“Just look, every title is as big and bold as possible and almost fills the screen to attract attention. In fact, titles from the ’30s are perfectly readable on an iPhone today,”. . . .

Typed in the translation for the Hokkien ah beng paikia song MP3 (DOWNLOAD), I’m not sure what its real title might be… It’s got the nicest machinegun background tough, hehehe… It was featured in the film 15: The Movie (directed by Royston Tan, Zhao Wei Films, Singapore 2003).

In search of someone I can trust
Knowing that the road leads to doom
I still choose this path of no return
Please do not reason with the truth
Expecting me to change by your words of kindness
I can’t offer an explanation for my life
Many say it’s because of BrotherhoodYoung man, why are you always in pain
Is it because you wanted to play god
Why are you still so foolish
When you know this path leads to nowhereYour gang call you brother
In the name of Brotherhood, you would even risk your life
If something ever happens to you
Where can your parents find their sonPlease do not reason me with the truth
Expecting me to change by your words of kindness
I can’t offer an explanation for my life
Many say it’s because of BrotherhoodYour gang calls you brother
In the name of Brotherhood, you would even risk your life
