Communist Orphans
music & lyrics by Chris James
1990
How long does it take before you look in the lake
And see you're going nowhere now
It's never to late to correct a mistake
And use it to help somehow
Yet it takes a positive mind to correct itself
And put the past far behind
But who cares, who cares
About the millions of communist orphans out there
Who shares, who shares
We only see the pictures of
Tianaman Square
So who cares, about the reds
A labourer's dream
Came onto the scene
And it took us all by suprise
Nobody knew just how big it grew
Until half the world was sucked up inside
Now there's no room for fun
In that second to none
Political party in rule, so who cares..
Chorus
Well they pulled down the wall
And said goodbye to it all
Yet there is always someone left behind
They are sitting at home
Their reputation has gone
Leaving memories of a wasted life
Now there sons and their daughters
Have big chips on their shoulders
'Cause their parents where on the wrong side
