lyrics

This is the story of Gao Zhisheng, who in a dark and dirty prison cell waits
Grew up in a cave in North Xanshi, Became a star lawyer despite his poverty
And just like Perseus and Hercules, he wasn't afraid of no foul-mouthed beast
He had his heart and mind and legal pen, with which he battled a dragon with 9 heads

Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong
Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong

Some men are cut from a special stone, some men are graced by a holy glow
Gao Zhisheng you know he just couldn‘t rest, the stench of hate around him like Bubonic death
He took it straight up to Hu Jintao, screamed it in the ears of Wen Xiabao
That they never could, nor will they ever win, by torturing and killing their own citizens

Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong
Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong

Just like cowards afraid to fight in the light, they tried to run him down like a dog at night
They put surveillance on his wife and friends, harassed his daughter everywhere she went
And then they beat him within an inch of his life, putting out lit cigarettes in his eyes
Electrocuted him until his flesh turned black, urinated on him when his body collapsed
Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong
Cream, it rises to the top, Cream it rises to the top, Yeah cream...
Kung Fu brave like the Falun Gong
