Citizen Ship

歌詞

I was nothing. It didn't matter to me Ah, there were tags all over my sleeve There was water outside the windows And children in the streets [ ] rats with tags Ain't got a passport Ain't got my real name Ain't got a chance, sport, at fortune and fame And I walk these endless streets, won't you give me a lift They were rioting in Chicago, movement in L.A Sixty-eight it broke up the Yardbirds We were broke as well Took it underground, M.C. borderline, up against the wall The wall. The wall Show your papers, boy Citizen ship we got mem'ries Stateless, they got shame Cast adrift from the citizen ship 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 Citizen ship we got mem'ries Citizen ship, we got pain Cast adrift from the citizen ship Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway I was caught 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 citizen ship we got mem'ries Citizen ship, we got pain Lose your grip on the citizen ship You're cast, you're cast away On the citizen ship you got mem'ry Citizen ship you got pain Citizen ship you got identity A name. A name. A name... What's your name, son? What's your name? What's your name?
