Citizen Ship (Digitally Remastered 1996)

I was nothing, it didn't matter to me

There were tags all over my sleeve

There was water outside the windows

And children in the streets are throwing rats with tags of a liar

Ain't got a passport, ain't got my real name

Ain't got a chance sport and fortune and fame

And I walk these endless streets, won't you give me a lift

A lift, a lift, on your citizenship

They were rioting in

Chicago, movement in

L.A.Sixty eight it broke up the yard birds, we were broke as well

Took it underground,

MC borderline, up against the wall

The wall, the wall, show your papers boy

Citizenship we got memories

Stateless, they got shame

Cast adrift from the citizenship

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

Citizenship we got memories

Citizenship, we got pain

Cast adrift from the citizenship

Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway

I was caught up 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 citizenship we got memories

Citizenship, we got pain

Lose your grip on the citizenship

You're cast, you're cast away

On the citizenship you got memories

Citizenship you got pain

Citizenship you got identity

A name, a name, a name, a name

Name, name, name, name

Yeah! What's your name, son?

What's your name?

What's your name?

A nameForget your name you got a number

Nothing I've got nothing

Man I've got nothing in this [Incomprehensible]

Give me your tired, your poor

Give me your huddled masses

Your war torn on your [Incomprehensible]

Give me your war torn and your shores of none

Lift up your door and your problem to me
