World Citizen/re-cycled |
| What happened here? |
| The butterfly has lost its wings |
| The air’s too thick to breathe |
| And there’s something in the drinking water. |
| The sun comes up The sun comes up and you’re alone |
| Your sense of purpose come undone |
| The traffic tails back to the maze on 101 |
| And the news from the sky |
| Is looking better for today |
| In every single way |
| But not for you |
| World citizen |
| World citizen |
| It’s not safe |
| All the yellow birds are sleeping |
| Cos the air’s not fit for breathing |
| It’s not safe |
| Why can’t we be Without beginning, without end? |
| Why can’t we be? |
| World citizen |
| World citizen |
| And if I stop |
| And talk with you awhile |
| I’m overwhelmed by the scale |
| Of everything you feel |
| The lonely inner state emergency |
| I want to feel |
| Until my heart can take no more |
| And there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t give |
| I want to break |
| The indifference of the days |
| I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake |
| I won’t be disappointed |
| I won’t be disappointed |
| I won’t be. |
| I saw a face |
| It was a face I didn’t know |
| Her sadness told me everything about my own |
| Can’t let it be When least expected there she is Gone the time and space that separates us And I’m not safe |
| I think I need a second skin |
| No, I’m not safe |
| World citizen |
| World citizen |
| I want to travel by night |
| Across the steppes and over seas |
| I want to understand the cost |
| Of everything that’s lost |
| I want to pronounce all their names correctly |
| World citizen |
| World citizen |
| I won’t be disappointed |
| I won’t be. |
| She doesn’t laugh |
| We’ve gone from comedy to commerce |
| And she doesn’t feel the ground she walks upon |
| I turn away |
| And I’m not sleeping well at night |
| And while I know this isn’t right |
| What can you do? |
