Default Arrested in Shanghai...

This is a song by Rancid that I really like. It actually fits well in today's news . Yeah I'm for a free Tibet . The Chinese guy who was always next to the flame (black shades) almost didn't let David Douillet carry the flame (French gold medalist in Judo) and actually didn't let a French gold medalist carry it because of their T-Shirts...



"Arrested In Shanghai"

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

They wouldn't let me write about my opinions about the state
And freedom of expression they would never tolerate
And the military secrets that I never did steal
I didn't start no violence, and there was nobody that I killed

So I have a clear account of all the abuses of power
And the memories of my homeland have now gone sour
And I only got one weapon, its so plain for me to see
My only weapon I call.. poetry

And I don't even know why
The truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai

Into wealth and priveledge, huh, I was not born
But a devotion to freedom and liberty, I was sworn
So every emotion is studdied, watched and controlled
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets rolled

A transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth
And radio waves, surveilance, satellite burst
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
Crack open the cranium and let awareness begin.......

I am all for a free tibet as well, I think the Dalai Lama has got it all wrong though.
I agree with him advocating non violence, but I think he should encourage people to boycott the olympics, he should encourage people around the world not to buy made in China. Every time I see the Dalai Lama on the news, I can't help but think his ways have not worked so far, perhaps he should take a slightly different approach.

Everyone is doing whatever China wants... it is really irritating to see that China can change the road of the flame because some protesters were holding the Tibet flag...

I read in the papers that they closed the Everest so that only a group of a few Chinese could climb it with the flame... And the Nepal agreed... sadly.

The golden gate had a huge peace banner on it, China said they don't want to go through it because of it, USA obeys... sadly.

What is wrong in this world? China is not going by the rules of Human Rights and they have the right to host the Olympic Games?? I think we got a problem there...
