Hey thanks Publius, I'd never trust Google to translate from such a different type of language, but as a native speaker I'm confident that the above translation will work - it does not need to be sung, the music is going on in the background with lyrics in both English and Mandarin

the original lyrics are actually 'never try to gag the mouth that bites the hand that feeds' which I was told would just sound confusing if translated as there is no equivalent on a cultural level, so I modified the words to those above - the song retains the same feel. It's based on a spy story by the way, and not political in any way!
