The Lyrics

What can I say – it’s what happens when you’re bored in a class on modern East Asia. Though I have to give my professor credit. If he hadn’t said “China was an empire” like he did, I probably never would’ve thought of this. This was also written at three in the morning, so I'm sorry if it seems even weirder, lol.
China was an empire
Stood the test of time
Accepted tributes from all o’er the East
And it was doing really fine
Yeah, it was doing really fine

Hell to the world
From Europe to America
Hell to the capitalists who want to trade
Hell to foreign treaties

If China were the ruler of the world
Tell you what they’d do
They’d get back at England for the Opium War
And cut off any trade too
Say it now…

Hell to the world
From Europe to America
Hell to the capitalists who want to trade
Hell to foreign treaties

China took on some policies
When faced with Europe’s gun
They had to open their doors wider and wider
Until trade was available to everyone
Then trade was available to everyone

Hell to the world
From Europe to America
Hell to the capitalists who want to trade
Hell to foreign treaties

This parody has some pacing issues and I think that capitalists do a lot more good than harm (especially when one looks at the alternatives), but I like this provocative look at Chinese history.
