In this track, Vanderslice imagines a future for the infamous unarmed Chinese rebel who stunned the world with his defiance of Beijing by blocking a column of tanks as they rolled down Chang'an Avenue towards Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Do you remember the man
Standing in front of the tanks that
Rolled on Tiananmen Square?
He just stood there
No
I heard I heard I heard the Red I heard the Red Guard
Went door to door and
They found him hiding under the floorboards
They yanked him out
And shot him twice in the head
No no no, he was never caught
They smuggled him out to America
He doesn't wanna talk about it
He's got a new name
He lives in McLean, Virginia
Do you remember the man
Who blocked the caravan
Trying to talk sense to
The machine gunner?
He held the ranks
Oh
No no no, he was never caught
They smuggled him out to America
He doesn't wanna talk about it
He's got a new name
He lives in McLean, Virginia
