The original version by Miles Davis was one of his most bluesy compositions and I often wondered what he was referring to with the title. He was a musical visionary and perhaps visionary in other ways. I've been a fan since 1970. I hope he would appreciate my version and hope it means something to you too.

RED CHINA BLUES

If you had to comply, and weren’t allowed to choose
Cos if you asked why, you would suffer abuse
. .All voices heavily censored
. .No choices for any dissenters
What could you do if you were stood in those shoes?
. .CBDC social credit score
. .Tracked and traced for ever more
China does it! It’s the Red China Blues!

We can’t just believe what we read in the evening news
Mainstream Media is the mouthpiece of the powers that rule
. .They present their stories as black and white
. .THEY know what’s wrong, THEY know what’s right
But they bend or ignore, independent views
. .Their experts want us all to think
. .There’s only yellow, brown or pink
Don’t be green! Refuse the Red China Blues!

Peace has no colour, no country, no confusion
Peace has no politics, no pretence, no illusions
. .Peace is a feeling so divine
. .and peace is within us all the time
When you know peace you know it is the solution
. .Choose to find the peace in your heart
. .Please be conscious, be wise, be smart
Don’t snooze! Refuse the Red China Blues!
