When I stand upside-down
I walk with my head
think with my feet
whistle through my lower body
breathe through my anus
I see people walking towards a lower place
water flowing towards a higher place
the sky trampled beneath our feet
planes take off and satellites are launched
as easily as tossing a stone
I notice people always first get married then fall in love
first get fined then spit on the floor
first receive praise then save a drowning child
first die a hero’s death then become a party member
or be honoured with a Labour Day medallion
first write their memoirs
then take part in the revolution
first go to the cadres to undergo serious self-criticism
then take part in corruption
just like first ejaculating then inserting
first realising communism then building a socialist society
I see masters pouring tea for maids
rich people begging from poor people
superiors passing cigarettes to their inferiors
comrade Lei Feng learning from us
I see the department chief driving his chauffeur
officials giving gifts to the common people
whilst welcoming the masses
coming to inspect their work
from now on the people can be their own boss
and flying the national flag
ride roughshod over the bureaucrats
The East is black, the sun is bad
China has given rise to a School of Rubbish
you're black I'm even blacker than you
you're bad I'm even badder than you
born as a rubbish person
die as a rubbish ghost
I am the School of Rubbish
the School of Rubbish is me
In this up-itself world
being degenerate is fantastic, worshiping the high is exhausting
black is School bad is also School
rubbish, School is even more School
I am totally School of Rubbish
the School of Rubbish is totally me
if you want me to quit the School of Rubbish
the only way would be for me to quit me
