Canton - Japan, David Sylvian, Richard Barbieri

We’re pushing through these farming towns

We’ve worked hard ploughing over ground

Red army calls you, the call of the crowd

Red army needs you, it calls you now

Cantonese boy, bang your tin drum

Cantonese boy, civilian soldier

Cantonese boy, bang your tin drum

Cantonese boy, red army calls you home

We’re singing, marching through the fields

We’re changing the lives we’ve led for years

Red army calls you, the call of the crowd

Red army needs you, it calls you now

Cantonese boy, bang your tin drum

Cantonese boy, civilian soldier

Cantonese boy, bang your tin drum

Cantonese boy, red army calls you home

Red army calls you

Red army needs you

Red army calls you

Red army needs you

Gentlemen you heard us call

Raised your glass and called for more

Only young men broke the wall
