If you buy goods from China
You’re supporting genocide
The Tibetan occupation
Where a million souls have died
And the slaves who man the factories
Just bleed away their lives
While greed is marching on.
All together we can fight them
With their lies we will indict them
On their wallets we will bite them
Our boycott marches on!
In nineteen hundred forty nine
The Chinese army came
And their murder and destruction
Put the gates of hell to shame
The Tibetans who survived
Are forced to slave for China’s gain
While greed is marching on.
All together we can beat them
From Tibet we can unseat them
With the truth we will defeat them
Our boycott marches on!
Now Beijing tries to tell us
China’s always owned Tibet
They ignore the truths of history
(They hope we’ll all forget)
If they think they've seen the last of us
They aint seen nothing yet!
Their lies are marching on.
With this boycott we have power
We can help Tibet to flower
This could be their finest hour
Our boycott marches on!
If you think it doesn’t matter
What you do or what you buy
Just remember that to save a buck
You’re letting people die
Use your freedom and good fortune
To defeat the Chinese lie
Their greed is marching on.
All together we can win this
We are all together in this
With our boycott we begin this
Our boycott marches on!
