Yeah? They were sure I was guilty, but I committed no crime They said: confessions bring lenience, so that put me on the line So I, protest the massacres at the Talliman Square My friends say yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there Oh. Watch this One night I might write about my opinions about the state And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate And the, military secrets that I never did steal I didn't start no violence, no, and there was nobody that I killed No. So I had a clear account of all abusers of power And the memories of homeland all gone sour And I only got one weapon, it's 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 Now, in a world of privilege I was not born But, the devotion of freedom and liberty I was sworn So, every emotion is studied, watched their control Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets born So, transmitting beams my coordinates, anywhere on Earth And, as radio waves, surveillance, satellite bursts Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in Yeah, crack open the cranium and let awareness begin Oh. 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 When I was arrested in Shanghai When I was arrested in Shanghai Woo!
