The Great Wall

Forces of imperialism are at hand

Too much resistance to take a stand

One million dead, how many more?

What does it take to not be ignored?

At the forefront of the freedom fight

An electric cattle prod with a stinging bite

Inmates raped, for their blood

Which comes next, storms or the floods?

Persecuted because of the Mantras

Temples burnt down by the Contras

No where to run, no where to hide

It's hard to tell who's on your side

Back in '87 two raised the flag

Chinamen come in with the body bags

Chants of independence became clear

It ain't what Mao wanted to hear

So the red flag smothers all

Waiting just waiting for the last to fall

For fear of the domino theory,

Not in our best interest

Favored trade treaty promotes the incest

So tear down all these walls,

Before they kill us all

Tear down all these walls,

Liberty and justice for all

Burn down all your flags,

In turn great walls will fall

And as society calls liberty and justice for all

It ain't no joke

Police cover up criticism with pistol smoke

Kids made to shoot their parents and

Their preachers

Who cares about the death of another teacher?

Ancient scrolls burned more than

Twelve hundred years old

Stolen possession of temples

Auctioned off and sold

China puts on a mask to look humane

Underneath the mask one hell of a lot of pain

Tear down these walls, before they kill us all

Tear down these walls!
