"Chinese Democracy"
(Rose, Freese)

 

Lyrics:

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
Sittin' in a Chinese stew
To view my disinfatuation

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 a 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
When all we've got is precious time
More than you've got to fool the nation
When all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter (matter...)
So you can hear it now
From somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
(it don't really matter)
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
(it don't really matter)
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
(it don't really matter)
Now you're keepin' your own kind in hell
(it don't really matter)
When your Great Wall rots blame yourself
(it don't really matter)
While their arms reach out for your help
And you're out of time
