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 name Forget 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 Mythology

My whole life,i thought it was: all It was nothing,it didn't matter to me all there are tanks all over my city there's water outside the windows and the children in the streets their throwing rocks at the tanks But I ain't got a passport ain't got my real name........ ....... in my minds eye,i has visions of soviet tanks in the czech republic... it was a much darker picture then maybe she wanted to share with fans ,buy maybe not. and w/the horrors in Ukraine today i had to find this music........ Thank you !!!! for doing the work of the lyrics. ✌
