Chinese Democracy: Has it been banned? YES
While other singers, bands and musicians continue to add China as a stop on their world tours, it looks like Guns N' Roses won't get to do that anytime soon. The Associated Press reports that Chinese state media have blasted their song Chinese Democracy:
In an article Monday headlined "American band releases album venomously attacking China," the Global Times said unidentified Chinese Internet users had described the album as part of a plot by some in the West to "grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn."Shanghaist: Just how subversive are the lyrics of the song Chinese Democracy? Read on after the jump and decide for yourself:
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 elseIf they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-in-fat-u-ationI 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 timeIt 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 timeIt 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 elseYou 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
