[00:01.01]What happened here?
[00:04.10]The butterfly has lost its wings
[00:08.15]The air’s too thick to breathe
[00:11.62]And there’s something in the drinking water.
[00:20.23]
[00:21.90]The sun comes up
[00:25.65]The sun comes up and you’re alone
[00:28.85]Your sense of purpose come undone
[00:31.99]The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
[00:42.13]
[00:43.47]And the news from the sky
[00:46.37]Is looking better for today
[00:50.03]In every single way
[00:53.62]But not for you
[00:56.90]
[00:57.54]World citizen
[01:00.96]
[01:04.51]World citizen
[01:07.38]
[01:11.44]It’s not safe
[01:15.29]All the yellow birds are sleeping
[01:18.66]Cos the air’s not fit for breathing
[01:22.12]It’s not safe
[01:25.05]
[01:25.99]Why can’t we be
[01:29.19]Without beginning, without end?
[01:32.69]Why can’t we be?
[01:35.87]
[01:40.04]World citizen
[01:43.49]
[01:47.02]World citizen
[01:50.43]
[01:54.29]And if I stop
[01:57.83]And talk with you awhile
[02:01.20]I’m overwhelmed by the scale
[02:04.67]Of everything you feel
[02:09.01]The lonely inner state emergency
[02:15.75]
[02:19.02]I want to feel
[02:22.75]Until my heart can take no more
[02:26.05]And there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t give
[02:31.53]
[02:33.21]I want to break
[02:36.55]The indifference of the days
[02:40.16]I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake
[02:46.56]
[02:47.65]I won’t be disappointed
[02:54.46]I won’t be disappointed
[03:01.70]I won’t be.
[03:04.10]
[03:10.72]I saw a face
[03:14.04]It was a face I didn’t know
[03:17.39]Her sadness told me everything about my own
[03:23.90]
[03:24.86]Can’t let it be
[03:27.95]When least expected there she is
[03:31.83]Gone the time and space that separates us
[03:38.26]
[03:38.80]And I’m not safe
[03:42.77]I think I need a second skin
[03:45.83]No, I’m not safe
[03:49.60]
[03:53.18]World citizen
[03:56.15]
[04:00.39]World citizen
[04:02.46]
[04:07.66]I want to travel by night
[04:10.62]Across the steppes and over seas
[04:15.20]I want to understand the cost
[04:19.00]Of everything that’s lost
[04:22.30]I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[04:27.62]
[04:29.19]World citizen
[04:32.74]
[04:37.51]World citizen
[04:40.09]
[04:43.06]I won’t be disappointed
[04:50.15]I won’t be.
[04:53.54]
[04:57.34]She doesn’t laugh
[05:00.46]We’ve gone from comedy to commerce
[05:04.54]And she doesn’t feel the ground she walks upon
[05:09.68]
[05:11.66]I turn away
[05:14.93]And I’m not sleeping well at night
[05:18.44]And while I know this isn’t right
[05:21.88]What can you do?
[05:26.06]

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 sense 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?
