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.
