They assumed I was guilty
But I'd committed no crime
They said confessions bring lenience
So they put me on the line
So I protest the massacres
At the Tiennenmen Square
My friends said stay away man
You better not go fuckin' back there

Watch this
Wouldn't let me write about
My opinions about the state
And the freedom of expression
They would never tolerate
And the military secrets
I never did steal
I didn't start no violence, no
There was nobody that I killed, no

So I had 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
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
I was arrested in Shanghai

Into wealth and privilege
I was not born
But a devotion to freedom
And liberty I was sworn
So every emotion is studied
Watched and controlled
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined
Who gets rolled

So transmitter beams
My coordinate's anywhere on earth
And as radio waves surveillanced
Satellite burst
Open up your skull
And let some knowledge come in, yeah
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
Whoo!
