lyrics

When you wake up in the red morning you see
A million bikes all riding,nothing on tv
but a grey line's drawn by thousands in a square you'll see
so do you want to know??

just a worker in a repressive regime
not a student screaming "liberty for me"
out of bed, white shire and black tie one
the cheering crowds there can't be that much wrong

Tianamen square, whats going on over there?
revolution not quite ringing true somehow
Tianamen square, maybe join the party there
red sun rising , so come on and greet me now
come on and see me now, Tianamen square

The break of dawn and nothing is the same
battered corpses lie, the blood filled city drains
what have the brids seen that this cannot be home no more
oh do you want to know?
what now can you show?

If the leaders can't lose face then let them see
him go shopping like a man on Oxford street
is the power guns and tanks and all on show
no, a single man , his heart is our i know

Tianamen square, what happened over there?
hope and fears encompassed in a shopping bag
Tianamen square, 30 years later
red sun setting, do we want to see it now
it hasn't changed anyhow
the spirits have not died

Tianamen square, whats going on over there?
revolution not quite ringing true somehow
Tianamen square, Fuck it get out of here
red sun rising , so come on and greet me now
come on and see me now, Tianamen square
