Arrested in Shanghai

歌詞

They assumed I was guilty when I commited no crime They said confessions bring lenience So they put me on the line So I protest a massacre's at the Tineman Square My friend said yo stay away man you better not go fuckin back there oh They wouldnt let me write about my opinions about the state And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate And the military secrets that I never did steal I didn't start no violence no and there was nobody that I killed So I had a clear account of all the abuses of power And the memories of homeland now gone sour And I only got one weapon and it's so plain for me to see My only weapon I call poetry And I don't even know why The truth seems like lie In My cell there is no sky When I was arrested in shanghai In the wealth and privledge huh I was not born But devotion and freedom and liberty I was sworn So every emotion is studied watched and controlled Who gets paid who gets disciplined and who gets rolled so Transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth And as radio waves surviellence satalite burst Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in Yeah crack open the cranium and let awareness begin oh And I don't even know why The truth seems like lie In My cell there is no sky When I was arrested in shanghai
