Rancid - Arrested In Shanghai lyrics

Album: Indestructible (2003)

They assumed I was guilty when I commited no crime
They said confessions bring lenience
So they put me on the line
So I protest a massacre´s at the Tineman Square
My friend said yo stay away man you better not go f*ckin back there oh
They´dnt let me write about my opinions about the state
And the freedom of expression they´d never tolerate
And the military secrets that I never did steal
I did not start no violence no & there was nobody that I killed
So I had a clear account of all the abuses of power
And the memories of homeland now gone sour
And I only got one weapon & it is so plain for me to see
My only weapon I call poetry
And I do not even know why
The truth seems like lie
In My cell there´s no sky
When I was arrested in shanghai
In the wealth & privledge huh I was not born
But devotion & freedom & liberty I was sworn
So every emotion is studied watched & controlled
Who gets paid who gets disciplined & who gets rolled so
Transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth
And as radio waves surviellence satalite burst
Open up your skull & let some knowledge come in
Yea crack open the cranium & let awareness begin oh
chorus...
