White China - Ultravox

When pale turns to pink

With a soft unnerving ease

And all you’ve built around

May just tumble to the ground

Will you stand or fall?

With your future in another’s hands

Will you 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?

Will you stand or fall?

With your children in another’s world

Will you stand or fall?

When your town is not your own

White China

White China

When crimson takes a hold

The lights go down on all you’ve ever known

And all you’ll ever do is worked out for you

Will you stand or fall?

When the thoughts you have are not your own

Will you stand or fall?

Oh, when the freedom slips away
