[00:00.71] There goes one baby's life
[00:03.55] It's such a small amount
[00:06.29] She's un-American
[00:09.02] I guess it doesn't count
[00:11.81] Six thousand children's lives
[00:14.66] Were simply thrown away
[00:17.35] Lost without medicine
[00:20.28] Inside of thirty days
[00:23.32] In the New York harbour
[00:25.95] Where the stock's withheld
[00:28.54] It was the price we paid
[00:31.48] For a safer world
[00:34.07] World is suffering
[00:36.86] World is suffering
[00:39.65] World is suffering
[00:42.49] World citizen
[00:48.31] In Madhya Pradesh
[00:51.05] Where they're building dams
[00:53.73] They're displacing native people
[00:56.58] From their homes and lands
[00:59.52] So they hunger strike
[01:01.96] Cos they believe they count
[01:04.69] To lose a single life
[01:07.43] Is such a small amount
[01:10.56] In the name of progress
[01:13.65] And democracy
[01:16.88] The concepts represented in name only
[01:21.86] His world is suffering
[01:24.60] Her world is suffering
[01:27.29] Their world is suffering
[01:30.13] World citizen
[01:32.57] World citizen
[01:46.86] And the buildings fall
[01:49.65] In a cloud of dust
[01:52.50] And we ask ourselves
[01:55.23] How could they hate us?
[01:57.62] Well, when we live in ignorance and luxury
[02:03.50] While our super powers practice
[02:06.64] Puppet mastery
[02:09.92] We raise the men
[02:12.01] Who run the fascist states
[02:14.95] And we sell them arms
[02:17.55] So they maintain their place
[02:20.88] We turn our backs
[02:22.92] On the things they done
[02:26.45] Their human rights record
[02:28.74] And the guns they run
[02:31.34] His world is suffering
[02:33.98] Her world is suffering
[02:36.87] Their world is suffering
[02:39.60] World citizen
[02:42.45] My world is suffering
[02:45.14] Your world is suffering
[02:48.02] Our world is suffering
[02:50.71] World citizen
[02:56.44] Who'll do away with flags?
[02:59.78] Who'll do us proud?
[03:02.07] Remove the money from their pockets
[03:04.95] Scream dissent out loud?
[03:08.14] Cos god ain't on our side
[03:11.18] The shoe won't fit
[03:13.13] And though they think the war is won
[03:15.86] That's not the last of it
[03:19.00] Disenfranchised people
[03:21.59] Need their voices heard
[03:24.48] And if no one stops to listen
[03:27.07] Lose their faith in words
[03:30.40] And violence rises
[03:32.49] When all hope is lost
[03:35.59] Who'll embrace the human spirit
[03:38.28] And absorb the cost?
[03:49.74] Not one life is taken
[03:54.38] In my name
[03:56.87] In my name
[04:03.67] His world is suffering
[04:06.41] Her world is suffering
[04:09.36] Their world is suffering
[04:12.14] World citizen
[04:14.73] My world is suffering
[04:17.47] Your world is suffering
[04:20.30] Our world is suffering
[04:22.99] World citizen
