0:01Citizen Ship - Patti Smith Group
0:07I was nothing it didn't matter to me
0:13There were tags all over my sleeve
0:21There was water outside the windows
0:23And children in the streets are throwing rats
0:26With tags of a liar
0:29Ain't got a passport ain't got my real name
0:36Ain't got a chance sport and fortune and fame
0:43And I walk these endless streets
0:47Won't you give me a lift
0:50A lift a lift on your citizenship
0:58They were rioting in Chicago movement in L A
1:04Sixty eight it broke up the yard birds
1:08We were broke as well
1:10Took it underground
1:13MC borderline up against the wall
1:18Ho wall the wall show your papers boy
1:25Citizenship we got memories
1:29Stateless they got shame
1:32Cast adrift from the citizenship
1:35Lifeline denied exiled this castaway
1:43Blind Alley in New York City in a foreign embrace
1:49If you're hungry you're not too particular
1:53About what you'll taste
1:57Men in uniform gave me vinegar spoon of misery
2:03But what the hell I fell
2:06I fell it doesn't matter to me
2:10Citizenship we got memories
2:13Citizenship we got pain
2:17Cast adrift from the citizenship
2:20Lifeline denied exiled this castaway
2:57I was caught up like a moth with its wings outta sync
3:04Cut the chord overboard just a refugee
3:11Lady Liberty lend a hand to me I've been cast adrift
3:17Adrift adrift adrift adrift adrift adrift
3:27On the citizenship we got memories
3:31Citizenship we got pain
3:34Lose your grip on the citizenship
3:37You're cast you're cast away
3:40On the citizenship you got memories
3:43Citizenship you got pain
3:47Citizenship you got identity
3:50A name a name a name a name
3:57Name name name name
4:05Yeah What's your name son
4:09What's your name
4:12What's your name
4:16A name
4:18Forget your name you got a number
4:25Nothing I've got nothing
4:31Man I've got nothing in this Incomprehensible
4:35Give me your tired your poor
4:39Give me your huddled masses
4:41Your war torn on your Incomprehensible
4:46Give me your war torn and your shores of none
4:50Lift up your door and your problem to me
