WORLD CITIZEN -I won't be disappointed-

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 sence 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? I won't be disappointed I won't be disappointed I won't be.
