Tien An Men
(c)1991 Michael Kerwin Breen

They gathered together at Tien An Men square
	sometimes as many as a million there
Erected a statue of liberty
	and dreamed of living in democracy

Some say it was naivete
	that made them carry on that way
But we all know it was the smell
	of freedom in the air
The greatest mass of human mind
	that ever struck a chord in time
But there were many things
	of which they weren't aware
The regime that kept them peasant poor
	and kept repression at their door
Was not prepared to ever
	give the power to the masses
So brutally they crushed the cry
	the People's Army's people died
And maintained the ruler's grip
	over the lower classes

How many died there, in Tien An Men square?
