If I told you who I was
you might not feel the same
your pictures are worth more
than the knowledge of my name
do the big city lights
disorient you?
allow you to forget
what I was forced to do?
I'm the tank man of Tiananmen Square
swept away but always there

Finally had enough....
grown weary to the bone
I'd rather die this way
than to die alone
open up the hatch
come and breathe the air
fear and paranoia
too long down there
I'm the tank man of Tiananmen Square
swept away but always there

I'm your locked door
your factory floor
your Wal Mart shelves
your somewhere else
Your invisible man
your pension plan
your child left behind
your eyes when they go blind

I've no need for guns
or bloodshed on the ground
I'll stand like a man
and you can mow me down
don't try to go around
I won't let you through
you got 4 more fingers
pointing back at you
I'm the tank man of Tiananmen Square
swept away but always there

I'm your locked door
your factory floor
your Wal Mart shelves
your somewhere else
Your invisible man
your pension plan
your child left behind
your eyes when they go blind
