    Lyrics:
    When pale turns to pink
    With a soft unnerving ease
    And all you've built around
    May just tumble to the ground
    We stand or fall
    With your future in another's hands
    We stand or fall
    When your life is not your own
    When white turns to red
    In the not too distant days
    Will force and misery
    Be the life you have to lead?
    We stand or fall
    With your children in anothers world
    We stand or fall
    When your town is not your own
    White China
    White China
    When crimson takes a hold
    When the lights go down on all you've ever known
    When all you'll ever do
    Is worked out for you
    We stand or fall
    When the thoughts you have are not your own
    We stand or fall
    When the freedom slips away

    This song was unbelievably vibrant in the "New Wave" clubs of the 80's, around Houston. I was there. Such a great time.

    Of all Ultravox tracks, this is the one that I always feel should have been a single. I seem to remember that it was considered as a single but rejected for whatever reason. I don't know, but whenever I listen to this album, I always think that this track stands out as an obvious choice.

      Because in the 80s we still had the freedom.

    Why is it that these 1980’s musicians were so accurate with their lyrics that they still apply today?!

    Had the cassette in grade 10 in '84. This and Are Friends Electric, DM's Now This Is Fun, EatB's The Cutter, Kissing the Pink's Big Man Restless, and Visage's Damned Don't Cry on my paper route mixed tape....Seems very relevant in '24.

      It's about the takeover of the Communist Party of China which happened about 40 years before this was written. It's not predicting anything.
