Independence - Lyrics - Gang Of Four

The Gang of Four was the name given to a political faction composed of four Chinese Communist Party officials. They came to prominence during the Cultural Revolution and were subsequently charged with a series of treasonous crimes. The members consisted of Mao Zedong's last wife Jiang Qing, the leading figure of the group, and her close associates Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen.

Like you said when we crawled down from the trees We're in transition I don't want to remain on the edge We must embrace the new conditions I'm alright, I'm alright Through it's a contradiction It's enough but less than I imagined I'll get used to this A one roomed apartment If I fall behind with the rent I'll have to borrow from a close friend I'm alright, I'm alright Through it's a contradiction It's enough but less than I imagined You always promise more than you can deliver Independence ain't dependence When you said it gets so cold that we could freeze I reconsidered I did all I could to be saved It looks like I made the wrong decision
