TV And Gun
(c) 2008 feixu.org 废墟 著

I knew it from the beginning,
I knew they are coming,
Right down the budala Palace,
Along the stone streets,
Marched down the soldiers,
with live ammunition. 

The soldiers hold tight,
The machine guns in their hands,
Side by side,
comes the camera man,
He owns all the TV screens,
on the whole land.

My heart is sinking,
I knew it’s coming,
They got everything ready,
They are gonna kill,
They are gonna lie.
 
It’s never their first time,
In Beijing they did just alike,
In a young summer night,
machine guns cut down,
so many innocent young men.
Right next day on all the TV sreens,
they said all rioters deserved to die.
 
Now the people in Beijing,
Sitting in front of their TV,
No facing guns like they did last time.
They said, how dare those Tibetan,
Attack our people the great Han.
 
My fellow country men,
What a shame,
you forgot just yesterday,
to your brothers and sisters,
they just did the same.
 
I knew it, I see it coming
The machine guns are,
Ready to fire on command,
The camera man has,
the story ready in his mind.
They are gonna kill,
They are gonna lie,
Like they had always done,
In a thousand moonless night.
