We were watchin' tv...watchin'tv

We were watchin' tv...watchin'tv
3
In tiananmen square
4
Lost my baby there
5
My yellow rose
6
And her bloodstained clothes
7
She was a short order pastry chef
8
In a dim sum dive on the yangtze tideway
9
She had shiny hair
10
She was the daughter of an engineer
11
Won't you shed a tear
12
For my yellow rose
13
My yellow rose
14
And her bloodstained clothes
15
She had perfect breasts
16
She had high hopes
17
She had almond eyes
18
She had yellow thighs
19
She was a student of philosophy
20
Won't you grieve with me
21
For my yellow rose
22
Shed a tear
23
For her bloodstained clothes
24
She had shiny hair
25
She had perfect breasts
26
She had high hopes
27
She had almond eyes
28
She had yellow thighs
29
She was the daughter of an engineer
30
So get out your pistols
31
Get out your stones
32
Get out your knives
33
Cut them to the bone
34
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
35
They built the dark satanic mills
36
That manufacture hell on earth
37
They bought the front row seats on calvary
38
They are irrelevant to me
39
And I grieve for my sister
40
People of china
41
Do not forget do not forget
42
The children who died for you
43
Long live the republic
44
Did we do anything after this
45
I've a feeling we did
46
We were watchin' tv...watchin' tv
47
We were watchin' tv...watchin' tv
48
She wore a white bandanna that said
49
Freedom now
50
She thought the great wall of china
51
Would come tumbling down
52
She was a student
53
Her father was an engineer
54
Won't you shed a tear
55
For my yellow rose
56
My yellow rose
57
And her bloodstained clothes
58
Her grandpa fought old chiang kai-shek
59
That no-good low-down dirty rat
60
Who used to order his troops
61
To fire on the women and children
62
Imagine that imagine that
63
And in the spring of '48
64
Mao tse-tung got quite irate
65
And he kicked that old dictator chiang
66
Out of the state of china
67
Chiang kai-shek came down in formosa
68
And they armed the island of quemoy
69
And the shells were flying across the china sea
70
And they turned formosa into a shoe factory
71
Called taiwan
72
And she is different from cro-magnon man
73
She's different from anne boleyn
74
She is different from the rosenbergs
75
And from the unknown jew
76
She is different from the unknown nicaraguan
77
Half superstar half victim
78
She's a victor star conceptually new
79
And she is different from the dodo
80
And from the kankanbono
81
She is different from the aztec
82
And from the cherokee
83
She's everybody's sister
84
She's symbolic of our failure
85
She's the one in fifty million
86
Who can help us to be free
87
Because she died on tv
