World Citizen

Song: World Citizen – I won’t be disappointed
Author: Ryuichi Sakamoto
Album: Chasm

What happened here?
A butterfly has lost its wings
The air is to 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’s 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 nor for you

World Citizen
World Citizen

And it’s not safe
All the yellow birds are sleeping
Cause the air is 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 stole
And talked with you a while
I ‘m overwhelmed by the scale
Of everything you feel
The lonely in a 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 brave the indifference of the days
I want the conscience that will keep me wide awake
I won’t be disappointed
I won’t be disappointed
I won’t be…

I saw her face
It was a face I didn’t know
Her sadness told me everything about my own
Could let it be
When least expected there she is
Gone the time and space that separates her
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 steps and overseas
I want to understand the cost
Of everything that’s lost
I want to pronounce all the names correctly

World Citizen
World Citizen

I won’t be disappointed
I won’t be …

She doesn’t love
We’ve gone from comedy to commerce
And she doesn’t feel the ground she walks upon
I turn away
And I am not sleeping well at night
And while I know this isn’t right
What can you do?

I won’t be disappointed
