Wake up, wake up
King in a catholic style
With your man
With your man make up
And your big money business smile

Cut 'em up, cut 'em up
Crucial to every child
With a mind
With a mind made up
And your main man confidence smile

The residential black sea band
They rose up out of a sinking sand
The presidential elect man said
For what you want take me instead

Wake up, wake up
Exercise your every right
With your plan
On the up and up
And your prize money struggle in sight

Cut 'em up, cut 'em up
Physical in every way
Tough enough, tough enough
Face up
And blow your big body blues away

China Crisis

China Crisis is an English pop/rock band. They were formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of New Wave but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary.[citation needed] Throughout their career, China Crisis has seen moderate success in the United Kingdom with ten hit singles between August 1982 and January 1987 and six albums, as well as commercial success in Western Europe, Australia and the Americas. more »
