The Lyrics
Well I was a foreign Ex. student
Who was just getting started in life
and my plan was to study abroad and then
come home, get a job, get a wife
And my teacher tried to explain to me
That China's the next power to rise
So in March '89, I and all that was mine
Went to study through communist eyes
Oh la-di-dah-di-di-dah-dah, la-la-di-di-dah-ah
Oh what a Square was Tiananmen!
Lit up so red every night
and the people would bow to the image of Mao
As they passed through Tiananmens light
Well in China nobody had freedom,
If you talk politics you'll be panned
Solidarity fries on the menu with chives
But the mormons and Greens are both banned!
So the students who wanted democracy
all gathered around in the square
We all waved flags and marched, though all starving and parched
and the global press found their way there
Oh la-di-dah-di-di-dah-dah, la-la-di-di-dah-ah
Sing freedom songs in Tiananmen
Sing freedom songs tonight
Well the boys in the blue disappeared from our view
and instead boys in green came in sight
Well on June fourth the army attacked the square
and the bodies piled up on the street
and amongst all the bleeders was one of the leaders
and if he got caught he'd be beat
I said son "what's your name?" and he said "I'm Fu"
I said "Fu, you've been shot in the chest"
"But the soldier who shot you, a protester got to,
and bleeding he lies to your left
Oh la-di-dah-di-di-dah-dah, la-la-di-di-dah-ah
Protesters dead in Tiananmen!
Protesters dead tonight
said the news in all countries and surely all cultures
will see China in a new light
Well the troops were preferred by the ambulance
as students lay dead on all sides
and a student named Hu said lets dress up these two
and make sure that the right one survives
Well the students around me all rallied to
and the clothing exchange went through fast
when the ambulance guy and a doctor came by
they took Fu but the soldier they passed
Oh la-di-dah-di-di-dah-dah, la-la-di-di-dah-ah
Everything's red in Tiananmen
Everythings red tonight
as the plow and the skythe matched the street and the sky
and showed China in her true light
