Arrested In Shanghai

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 fuckin back there oh

They wouldnt let me 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

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 and 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 lie

In my cell there is no sky

When I was arrested in shanghai

In the wealth and privledge huh I was not born

But devotion and freedom and liberty I was sworn

So every emotion is studied

Watched and controlled

Who gets paid who gets disciplined and who gets rolled so

Transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth

And as radio waves surviellence satalite burst

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 lie

In my cell there is no sky

When I was arrested in Shanghai
