The Bomb-happy boys enjoy
Another day of telling me who to hate
A dollar for each member of the population
To turn them against their state

Every accusation a clear admission
Of practices tested, tried and true
Never let the facts stand in the way
If you understand what’s good for you

The collapse is soon arriving
As it has been for decades already
A stopped clock is right twice a day
So let’s keep the message steady

Achievements must be suppressed
With the suffix ‘but at what cost?’
Assistance labelled as a debt-trap
Is just an advantage that was lost

When a people claim they are happy
It must said that they have no choice
But if one chooses not to listen
What purpose is your own voice?

As red lines keep being crossed
And its no longer seen just as a game
The pretense must be maintained
So that it’s understood who to blame

So the plan is to keep those people poor
A useless tactic, pitiful and sad
And to push them towards a war
To remind you all that China is bad

A 1.6 billion US dollar budget for anti-China propaganda – is that a dollar for every Chinese person? The Western world seems to be the most propagandised people on Earth. Don’t believe anything you read. Believe what you have seen – and then only trust half of that too. China is not the enemy.
