| IN MEMORY OF THE CHILDREN... 
  
 A SONG IS DEDICATED TO THE CHILDREN
 
 watching tv --ROGER WATERS
 
 We were watching T.V.
 Watching T.V.
 We were Watching T.V.
 Watching T.V.
 In Tian An Men 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 a shiny hair
 She was a daughter of an engineer
 Won't you shed a tear
 For my yellow rose
 My yellow rose
 In her bloodstained clothes
 She had a 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 almond eyes
 She had yellow thighs
 She was a daughter af 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
 And I grieve for my sister
 
 (a chinese woman voice simple)
 "the Republic of China
 Do not forget, do not forget
 The children who died for you"
 
 Did we do anything after this
 I've a feeling we did
 We were watching T.V.
 Watching T.V.
 We were watching T.V.
 Watching T.V.
 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 T.V.
 And I grieve for my sister
