Creating a Racket

Earlier this week rock band Guns N' Roses finally came out with its first album in 17 years.

And front man Axel Rose wanted to shake things up by naming it "Chinese Democracy".

Here are the lyrics to the song, Chinese Democracy:

It don't really matter
You'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave these things to
Somebody else

If they missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong*
They've seen the end and you can't hold on now

Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else

Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation but all I got is
Precious time
Our baby got to rule the nation but all I got is
Precious time

It don't really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them all up they'll die
Then you'll walk them home for the cells
Then now you'll dig for your road back to hell
And with your * makes you stop
As if your eyes were their eyes you can tell
In your lack of time

Do these lyrics inspire democracy? Seem more like angst than inciting political change.

Nevertheless, the Chinese government has already panned the album.

At a press conference Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Qin Gang was asked: "An American rock band releases a new album called 'Chinese Democracy', what is the Chinese government response to such event?"

He replied: "According to my understanding, many people do not like such music, because they are too noisy. I believe you should be a mature adult, aren't you?"
