White China

When pale turns to pink With a soft unnerving ease And all you've built around May just tumble to the ground Will you stand or fall? With your future in another's hands Will you stand or fall? When your life is not your own When white turns to red In the not too distant days Will force and misery Be the life you have to lead? Will you stand or fall? With your children in another's world Will you stand or fall? When your town is not your own White China White China When crimson takes a hold The lights go down on all you've ever known And all you'll ever do is worked out for you Will you stand or fall? When the thoughts you have are not your own Will you stand or fall? Oh, when the freedom slips away White China White China White China White China White China White China
