[Verse 1]
We're pushing
Through these farming towns
We've worked hard
Ploughing over grounds

[Pre-Chorus]
Red army calls you
The call of the crowd
Red army needs you
It calls you now

[Chorus]
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

[Verse 2]
We're singing
Marching through the fields
We're changing
The lives we've led for years
[Pre-Chorus]
Red army calls you
The call of the crowd
Red army needs you
It calls you now

[Chorus]
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

[Bridge]
Red army calls you
Red army needs you

[Outro]
Gentlemen you heard this call
Raised your glass and called for more
Only young men broke the wall
