From Wikipedia: China Crisis is a British rock group formed in 1979 in Kirkby on Merseyside, with a core band of vocalist/keyboardist Garry Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of the new romantics, but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary. Sharing an affection for Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and Brian Eno, Daly and Lundon had become burned out from playing with various Knowsley post-punk groups. Daly quit school and then spent much of his time indoors tinkering with synthesizers and a drum machine. Along with Lundon, Daly began writing songs using his high-tech toys.

Gift Of Freedom Lyrics

China Crisis

Freedom for what its worth
A god-given right
So I am taking, taking it
And no one need qualify
The price you pay
Is very low, very low
And will the whole damned world fall down
Before weve learned to share what weve found
Freedom from apathy
A god-given choice
So I am taking it, taking it
And no one dare justify
Shock policies
Run a river dry, river dry
And will the whole damned world fall down
Before weve learned to share what weve found
Freedom for everyone
A god-given right
So Im takin it, takin it
And no one need walk alone
So shake your world
Into believing it, believing it
