With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground
We stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We 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?
We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your own
Chorus:
White China
White China
When crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for you
We stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away
(Repeat chorus 3 times)
When pale turns to pink With a soft unnerving ease And all you've built around May just tumble to the ground We stand or fall With your future in another's hands We 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? We stand or fall With your children in anothers world We stand or fall When your town is not your own Chorus: White China White China When crimson takes a hold When the lights go down on all you've ever known When all you'll ever do Is worked out for you We stand or fall When the thoughts you have are not your own We stand or fall When the freedom slips away (Repeat chorus 3 times) Explain Request ×
