Citizen Ship (Digitally Remastered 1996)

Citizen Ship - Patti Smith Group
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
Ho 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
