|
I was nothing, it didn't matter to me |
|
There were tags all over my sleeve |
|
There was water outside the windows |
|
And children in the streets are throwing rats with tags of a liar |
|
Ain't got a passport, ain't got my real name |
|
Ain't got a chance sport and fortune and fame |
|
And I walk these endless streets, won't you give me a lift |
|
A lift, a lift, on your citizenship |
|
They were rioting in |
|
Chicago, movement in |
|
L.A.Sixty eight it broke up the yard birds, we were broke as well |
|
Took it underground, |
|
MC borderline, up against the wall |
|
The wall, the wall, show your papers boy |
|
Citizenship we got memories |
|
Stateless, they got shame |
|
Cast adrift from the citizenship |
|
Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway |
|
Blind Alley in |
|
New York City, in a foreign embrace |
|
If you're hungry you're not too particular about what you'll taste |
|
Men in uniform gave me vinegar, spoon of misery |
|
But what the hell, |
|
I fell, I fell, it doesn't matter to me |
|
Citizenship we got memories |
|
Citizenship, we got pain |
|
Cast adrift from the citizenship |
|
Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway |
|
I was caught up like a moth with its wings outta sync |
|
Cut the chord, overboard, just a refugee |
|
Lady Liberty, lend a hand to me, |
|
I've been cast adrift |
|
Adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift |
|
On the citizenship we got memories |
|
Citizenship, we got pain |
|
Lose your grip on the citizenship |
|
You're cast, you're cast away |
|
On the citizenship you got memories |
|
Citizenship you got pain |
|
Citizenship you got identity |
|
A name, a name, a name, a name |
|
Name, name, name, name |
|
Yeah! What's your name, son? |
|
What's your name? |
|
What's your name? |
|
A nameForget your name you got a number |
|
Nothing I've got nothing |
|
Man I've got nothing in this [Incomprehensible] |
|
Give me your tired, your poor |
|
Give me your huddled masses |
|
Your war torn on your [Incomprehensible] |
|
Give me your war torn and your shores of none |
|
Lift up your door and your problem to me |
|
