It's been an interesting discovery by me of the taboo song that offends so many in this country including me. It's said that Guns N' Roses is a famous rock and roll band in western world and their new album chinese democracy has aroused various attentions and heats debates home and abroad. I know nothing about pop musics, singers and bands, neither am I interested in their dangerous tricks of hyping or blowing up. But the lyrics is sort of interesting and clever written text. If you really tackle into the metaphors and images in it, you will find out the prejudiced stereotypes and ignorance hidden behind. Just to show something to think upon.
It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave this thing to somebody else
If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-in-fat-u-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They've seen the end and it can't hold on now
'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
All they got to rule the 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
All they got to rule the nation
When all we got is precious time
All they got to fool the nation
When all I got is precious time
It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from somebody else
You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
When your great wall rocks blame yourself
While their arms reach up for your help
And you're out of time
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave this thing to somebody else
If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-in-fat-u-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They've seen the end and it can't hold on now
'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
All they got to rule the 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

'Cause it would take a lot more time than you

Even with your iron fist

When all we got is precious time
