Policy (Original Lyrics)



In China there’s a hunger for democracy,

this is something that’s come easily to me.



Minds with new ideas lay dead and dying,

cut short and swiftly, for trying to be free.



Within this country of ancient dignity,

deep rivers flow down to burgeoning seas.

But just as on every other continent,

the wonder of written language

has become its detriment.



(CHORUS)

The written word can bind a man

and hold him from his freedom,

liberty’s a natural right,

but nature’s had enough.



I want to reconsider

the greatness

of the Great Wall,

as we sit silently blind

avoiding the truth

awaiting the fall.



(CHORUS)

The written word can bind a man

and hold him from his freedom

liberty’s a natural right

but nature’s had enough.



Other walls have fallen,

penned people flood the gates

rejoicing to the sky

over land which just moments ago

was forbidden to them,

wouldn’t you know

shouldn’t we

know.



In China there’s a hunger for democracy,

is this something that’s come easily to me?
