[00:00.67]Bamboo basket reflector working brakes
[00:05.94]Never forget your helmet trusty Mips
[00:08.89]See ya I'm off to the morning market
[00:13.24]Thirty-three lemons
[00:15.12]A healthy-looking chicken
[00:16.67]And a dozen of free-range eggs
[00:20.51]Thanks keep the change
[00:24.34]Whistling a tune pffhw
[00:28.27]I'm home
[00:31.24]What a perfect day
[00:34.04]I hanged the sheets out in the yard
[00:36.75]Oiled up my baking tray
[00:40.07]Thinking about you Mother
[00:42.81]To recite her famous words
[00:45.98]All you need are salt and pepper
[00:48.90]To taste the happiness of life forever
[00:55.90]Then the moon rosе
[00:58.28]And creamed lemon chicken roasted in the oven
[01:03.15]Men in black kicked down my front door
[01:06.29]Hey
[01:06.67]Who
[01:07.29]What
[01:07.73]Why
[01:08.17]"You violated act 617 - Illegal Thoughts"
[01:11.99]"You're under arrest"
[01:13.58]We all know the real answer was
[01:15.30]"You shouldn't have been born the way you are"
[01:23.54]And we're packed in a cargo choo choo train
[01:26.68]Squeezing against the bodies similar to me
[01:31.23]With tears rolling down our faces
[01:33.58]We began to sing
[01:35.09]"They can never take anything from our souls"
[01:39.12]Louder and louder
[01:41.46]"They can never take anything from our souls"
[01:45.43]Louder and louder
[01:48.25]They shaved off my hair
[01:50.94]Fed me a foreign language
[01:53.77]Looking on the bright side
[01:55.53]Yeah
[01:55.91]I'm alive
[01:56.78]I still remember all the people I love
[01:59.60]So come at me and do your worst
[02:03.38]All this pain and suffer
[02:05.97]Don't stand a chance against our iron hearts
[02:12.43]As the morning came and went
[02:15.26]Ah
[02:15.48]And the people stayed and left
[02:18.25]Ah
[02:18.50]And the earth went 'round and around
[02:22.37]The stars never looked so kind
[02:24.36]The wind ever so fragrant
[02:26.75]Through the tiny slit on the wall
[02:29.71]Every night I was invited to watch
[02:32.67]A theater played by moonlit birds
[02:35.66]They spread their wings
[02:36.66]Carrying our silenced voices
[02:40.14]Singing our historic songs
[02:42.83]Letting everyone in the future know
[02:45.95]That we existed
[02:49.67]What a perfect night
[02:52.27]I felt the urge to write a book
[02:55.35]Pass down my life
[02:57.33]Until recently time didn't feel so fast
[03:01.34]With my bloody fingertip
[03:04.47]All I needed were sticks and paper
[03:07.53]I started to write poems after poems
[03:10.67]Then the moonlit birds came to meet me
[03:13.99]They stole the key and opened the gates
[03:16.74]We're finally free
[03:18.63]I picked up my bicycle
[03:20.06]Riding home to Mother
[03:22.99]Writing my delusion world
[03:25.97]I saw a version of heaven
[03:27.44]Where I sat in my yard
[03:29.32]Reading a paperback print of my book
[03:35.46]On a hillside your little fist clutching sweat
[03:41.25]Walking to the memorial park
[03:43.69]You put down freshly cut white chrysanthemums
[03:48.42]A former Thought Police lowers her hat
[03:51.31]Children lying on the grass
[03:53.61]Singing to poems written by me
[03:58.39]Du-du-du-du
