A brave little man with a shopping bag Defiantly stood before an army tank A foul machine designed to grind free men Into ****** scraps to be hosed away Two unknown men - it was not the tank that stopped It was the tank commander who stopped the tank All that is left is old videotape: Two bullets made all problems disappear A brave little man with a shopping bag Another brave man with a battle tank: They stopped -                               And, yes, someday China will be free

Tiananmen - Whatever Happened to the Tank Commander Who Disobeyed Orders?
A brave little man with a shopping bag Defiantly stood before an army tank A foul machine designed to grind free men Into ****** scraps to be hosed away Two unknown men - it was not the tank that stopped It was the tank commander who stopped the tank All that is left is old videotape: Two bullets made all problems disappear A brave little man with a shopping bag Another brave man with a battle tank: They stopped -                               And, yes, someday China will be free
