1949 - Red stars in the sunset

In '49 the time has come for Mao
To proclaim the People's Republic of
China. The previous republic is now
Mainly confined to Taiwan and removed
From the mainland, assisted by the tough
Stalinist Russia, though they will fall out
There's other fallout nearby from this, both
In North Vietnam and Korea - look out
America, the dominoes no doubt
Will continue to fall. Fred Hoyle says how
The Big Bang started it all, one more move
Away from Biblical doctrine and clout
Eire becomes Ireland, Germans kowtow
To Russia in the DDR, with love
