Arrested In Shanghai They assured me I was guilty but I commited no crime They said confessions bring lenience so they put me on the line So I protest the massacres at the Tiananmen Square My friends said yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there They wouldn't let me write about my opinions about the state And freedom of expression they would never tolerate And the military secrets that I never did steal I didn't start no violence, and there was nobody that I killed So I have a clear account of all the abuses of power And the memories of my homeland have now gone sour And I only got one weapon, its so plain for me to see My only weapon I call.. poetry And I don't even know why The truth seems like a lie In my cell there is no sky When I was arrested in Shanghai Into wealth and priveledge, huh, I was not born But a devotion to freedom and liberty, I was sworn So every emotion is studdied, watched and controlled Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets rolled A transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth And radio waves, surveilance, satellite burst Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in Crack open the cranium and let awareness begin.......
