[Verse 1]
He makes an inner arm block then kicks from behind
But he can fight blind 'Cause he got the touch
He comes from Hong Kong, where people are strong
Where people live long, where justice is done

[Chorus]
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Won't somebody, won't somebody
Sink the place?

[Verse 2]
Got a call to go to SoHo, The Dragon said go
Let everyone know that you got the touch
You come from Hong Kong, where people are strong
But you won't live long and justice is done

[Chorus]
Chinese bombs, millions jump
Chairman's junk, USA
Bruce Lee comes, save the day
Bruce Lee comes, the Chinese way

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
