THE DEMOCRATS OF TIANAMEN SQUARE

EVEN THE ARMY QUESTIONS DENG,
AS DEMOCRACY SPREADS TO VILLAGE AND TOWN.
TIANANMEN SQUARE DRIPS WITH STUDENTS' BLOOD,
AS THE ARMY GUNNED ITS OWN PEOPLE DOWN.

THE PARTY IS DICTATORIAL AND CORRUPT,
IT SAYS WHAT IS DONE AND TAUGHT.
A YOKE OF UNIFORMITY AND TERROR,
HAS LONG BEEN THE CHINESE LOT.

YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE PARTY,
IF YOU DESIRE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.
OPPOSING THOUGHT IS NOT ALLOWED,
DEBATE WOULD BRING DENG STRIFE.

THE PEOPLE MOURN THE DEMOCRATS,
THEIR SPIRIT WILL FUEL THE CHINESE FIRE.
AS SURE AS SUMMER FOLLOWS SPRING,
DEMOCRACY WILL BE CHINA'S DESIRE.
