White China (2009 Remaster)

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?
