Roger Waters - Watching TV Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I've been watching
  • In Tiananmen Square
  • Lost my baby there
  • My yellow rose
  • In her bloodstained clothes
  • She was a short order pastry chef
  • In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway
  • She had shiny hair
  • She was the daughter of an engineer
  • Won't you shed a tear
  • For my yellow rose
  • My yellow rose
  • In her bloodstained clothes
  • She had perfect breasts
  • She had high hopes
  • She had almond eyes
  • She had yellow thighs
  • She was a student of philosophy
  • Won't you grieve with me
  • For my yellow rose
  • Shed a tear
  • For her bloodstained clothes
  • She had shiny hair
  • She had perfect breasts
  • She had high hopes
  • She had almond eyes
  • She had yellow thighs
  • She was the daughter of an engineer
  • So get out your pistols
  • Get out your stones
  • Get out your knives
  • Cut them to the bone
  • They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
  • They built the dark satanic mills
  • That manufacture hell on earth
  • They bought the front row seats on Calvary
  • They are irrelevant to me
  • But I grieve for my sister
  • People of China
  • Do not forget do not forget
  • The children who died for you
  • Long live the Republic
  • Did we do anything after this
  • I've a feeling we did
  • We were watching TV
  • Watching TV
  • We were watching TV
  • Watching TV
  • She wore a white bandanna that said
  • Freedom now
  • She thought the Great Wall of China
  • Would come tumbling down
  • She was a student
  • Her father was an engineer
  • Won't you shed a tear
  • For my yellow rose
  • My yellow rose
  • In her bloodstained clothes
  • Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek
  • That no-good low-down dirty rat
  • Who used to order his troops
  • To fire on the women and children
  • Imagine that imagine that
  • And in the spring of '48
  • Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
  • And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
  • Out of the state of China
  • Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa
  • And they armed the island of Quemoy
  • And the shells were flying across the China Sea
  • And they turned Formosa into a shoe factory
  • Called Taiwan
  • And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
  • She's different from Anne Boleyn
  • She is different from the Rosenbergs
  • And from the unknown Jew
  • She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan
  • Half superstar half victim
  • She's a victor star conceptually new
  • And she is different from the Dodo
  • And from the Kankanbono
  • She is different from the Aztec
  • And from the Cherokee
  • She's everybody's sister
  • She's symbolic of our failure
  • She's the one in fifty million
  • Who can help us to be free
  • Because she died on TV
  • And I grieve for my sister
