lyrics

New investors cross an ocean
Lick their serpent lips to say,
"Now my dreams are getting cheaper
Now's the perfect time to play"

The paths they make meet right across the water
Cheap accommodations by the sea
Grown-up men with wallets bulging
On both sides, what's the true prize they seek?

Let's find a place where money's always speaking very loud
You go ahead and put your dollars to hard work in ancient towns

Hell, it's clear enough to see we need a China
That will take the gold that we don't have
Keep us on our toes in the morning,
Maybe stab us in the heart when the day gets old

You can buy some seaside houses,
Get ready for the death of it all
You can live the remainder on the ocean,
With a piece of China bought and sold

Give me that China love,
give me that China love

The old country was then, this is now
New faces on the city wall are due
A country is waiting for you
A country is waiting to...
