    Lyrics below:
    Harmful elements in the air
    Symbols clashing everywhere
    Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
    While the population feeds
    Junk floats on polluted water
    An old custom to sell your daughter
    Would you like number twenty three?
    Leave your yens on the counter please
    Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
    Hong Kong Garden
    Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
    Hong Kong Garden
    Oh oh, oh oh
    Tourists swarm to see your face
    Confucius has a puzzling grace
    Disoriented you enter in
    Unleashing scent of wild jasmine
    Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
    A race of bodies small in size
    Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
    Hong Kong Garden takeaway
    La la la, la la la la la
    Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
    Hong Kong Garden
    Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
    Music video by Siouxsie And The Banshees performing Hong Kong Garden. (C) 1978 PolyGram Video International

      @bofursgun you're right its a music, remember music is a macro therefore lyrics can be use as a message especially most bands under punk genre involves a lot of politics and society, therefore the song is coincidentally called Hong Kong garden at the same time Hong Kong isn't doing well right now. My statement is just to wish HK the best end of story. You have a problem with that?
