R.E.M. – Belong. Lyrics 16 years ago
I would say this song is clearly a mother reading about the Tiannamen Square Massacre on June 4th, 1989 (the album came out in 1991), which was a Sunday. She is terrified at the thought of her own child growing up and participating in protests like these and being killed, so she is telling it to "Belong", don't make waves.
