Chinese Democracy -- Guns N' Roses


It don't really matter  Gonna find out for yourself  No it don't really matter
Gonna leave this thing to  Somebody else  If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries  Sitting in a Chinese stew  To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case  Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong  They've seen the end and you can't hold on now

'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you  To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist  More than you got to rule the nation
When all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter  Guess I'll keep it to myself  Said it don't really matter
It's time I look around for  Somebody else  Cause it would take a lot more time than you  Have got for masturbation  Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation   But all we got is precious time
More than you got to fool the nation   But all I got is precious time

It don't really matter  I guess you'll find out for yourself  No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from  Somebody else  You think you got it all locked up inside  And if you beat 'em enough they'll die  It's like a walk in the park from the cell  Now you're keeping your own kind in hell  When your great wall rocks, blame yourself  Like if your ass were your hell you can tell
And you're out of time..                                                                            (sing365)

Axl Rose wrote this song after watching on TV the 1998 movie Kundun, which is about Tibet's 14th Dalai Lama. At the end of the movie the Dalai Lama escapes from the communist Chinese government disappearing into exile.  He added: "And its not necessarily pro or con about China, its just that right now China symbolizes one of the strongest, yet most the oppressive, countries and, governments in the word. And we are fortunate to live in a free country. And so in thinking about that it just kinda upset me, and we wrote this little song called 'Chinese Democracy.'"                                                        (songfacts)

The Chinese democracy movement  refers to a series of loosely organized political movements in the People's Republic of China against the continued one-party rule by the Communist Party. One such movement began during the Beijing Spring in 1978 and was taken up again in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. In the 1990s, Chinese democracy movements underwent a decline both within the PRC and overseas, and are fragmented and not considered by most analysts  to be a serious threat to power to the government.
