Watch What You Say

China gave up Hong Kong,
In eighteen forty-two,
Punishment for halting Brit drug cartels,
Didn't know that, did you?

But now the territory's a nexus,
Of control and freedom,
Despite China's promise of liberty,
People cannot criticize their nation,

For fifty years, China was to lay off,
After that, no one cares,
Maybe they should have waited, for by then,
The world might be all theirs.
China's, I mean,
The people never win,
You fight against an ideology,
A new one's always ready to tap in.
