Yeah?
  They were sure I was guilty, but I committed no crime
  They said: confessions bring lenience, so that put me on the line
  So I, protest the massacres at the Tiannamen Square
  My friends say yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there
  Oh.
  Watch this
  One night I might write about my opinions about the state
  And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate
  And the, military secrets that I never did steal
  I didn't start no violence, no, and there was nobody that I killed
  No.
  So I had a clear account of all abusers of power
  And the memories of homeland all gone sour
  And I only got one weapon, it's 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
    Now, in a world of privilege I was not born
  But, the devotion of freedom and liberty I was sworn
  So, every emotion is studied, watched their control
  Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets born
  So, transmitting beams my coordinates, anywhere on Earth
  And, as radio waves, surveillance, satellite bursts
  Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
  Ya, crack open the cranium and let awareness begin
  Oh.
    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
  When I was arrested in Shanghai
  When I was arrested in Shanghai
  Woo!
