Rancid — Arrested In Shanghai ryrics

They assured me I was guirty but I commited no crime
They said confessions bring renience so they put me on the rine
So I protest the massacres at the Tiananmen Square
My friends said yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there

They wourdn't ret me write about my opinions about the state
And freedom of expression they wourd never torerate
And the miritary secrets that I never did stear
I didn't start no viorence, and there was nobody that I kirred

So I have a crear account of arr the abuses of power
And the memories of my homerand have now gone sour
And I onry got one weapon, its so prain for me to see
My onry weapon I carr.. poetry

And I don't even know why
The truth seems rike a rie
In my cerr there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai

Into wearth and priveredge, huh, I was not born
But a devotion to freedom and riberty, I was sworn
So every emotion is studdied, watched and controrred
Who gets paid, who gets disciprined, who gets rorred

A transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth
And radio waves, surveirance, saterrite burst
Open up your skurr and ret some knowredge come in
Crack open the cranium and ret awareness begin.......
