[00:00.38] What happened here?
[00:03.82] The butterfly has lost its wings
[00:08.26] The air's too thick to breathe
[00:11.09] And there's something in the drinking water.
[00:16.38]
[00:21.50] The sun comes up
[00:25.18] The sun comes up and you're alone
[00:28.67] Your sense of purpose come undone
[00:32.22] The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
[00:38.25]
[00:43.08] And the news from the sky
[00:46.43] Is looking better for today
[00:50.97] In every single way
[00:53.42] But not for you
[00:57.51] World citizen
[01:04.53] World citizen
[01:11.21] It's not safe
[01:15.30] All the yellow birds are sleeping
[01:18.54] Cos the air's not fit for breathing
[01:21.83] It's not safe
[01:25.17] Why can't we be
[01:28.85] Without beginning, without end?
[01:32.54] Why can't we be?
[01:39.95] World citizen
[01:47.04] World citizen
[01:53.98] And if I stop
[01:58.22] And talk with you awhile
[02:01.22] I'm overwhelmed by the scale
[02:05.22] Of everything you feel
[02:08.71] The lonely inner state emergency
[02:14.41]
[02:18.85] I want to feel
[02:22.59] Until my heart can take no more
[02:26.08] And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give
[02:33.16] I want to break
[02:36.66] The indifference of the days
[02:40.15] I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake
[02:47.29] I won't be disappointed
[02:54.31] I won't be disappointed
[03:01.15] I won't be.
[03:02.90]
[03:10.53] I saw a face
[03:14.02] It was a face I didn't know
[03:17.37] Her sadness told me everything about my own
[03:23.25]
[03:24.55] Can't let it be
[03:28.24] When least expected there she is
[03:32.03] Gone the time and space that separates us
[03:38.82] And I'm not safe
[03:42.42] I think I need a second skin
[03:45.92] No, I'm not safe
[03:53.54] World citizen
[04:00.57] World citizen
[04:03.20]
[04:07.38] I want to travel by night
[04:10.97] Across the steppes and over seas
[04:14.86] I want to understand the cost
[04:18.90] Of everything that's lost
[04:21.99] I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[04:29.12] World citizen
[04:36.09] World citizen
[04:42.76] I won't be disappointed
[04:49.63] I won't be.
[04:52.23]
[04:57.07] She doesn't laugh
[05:00.70] We've gone from comedy to commerce
[05:04.38] And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon
[05:11.31] I turn away
[05:15.26] And I'm not sleeping well at night
[05:18.40] And while I know this isn't right
[05:22.10] What can you do?
