Letra de World Citizen (Short Version)
World Citizen (Long Version)World CitizenThere goes one baby's life It's such a small amount She's un-American I guess it doesn't countSix thousand children's lives Were simply thrown away Lost without medicine Inside of thirty daysIn the New York harbour Where the stock's withheld It was the price we paid For a safer worldWorld is suffering World is suffering World is suffering World citizenIn Madhya Pradesh Where they're building dams They're displacing native people From their homes and landsSo they hunger strike Cos they believe they count To lose a single life Is such a small amountIn the name of progress And democracy The concepts represented in name onlyHis world is suffering Her world is suffering Their world is suffering World citizenWorld citizenAnd the buildings fall In a cloud of dust And we ask ourselves How could they hate us? Well, when we live in ignorance and luxury While our super powers practice Puppet masteryWe raise the men Who run the fascist states And we sell them arms So they maintain their placeWe turn our backs On the things they done Their human rights record And the guns they runHis world is suffering Her world is suffering Their world is suffering World citizenMy world is suffering Your world is suffering Our world is suffering World citizenWho'll do away with flags? Who'll do us proud? Remove the money from their pockets Scream dissent out loud?Cos god ain't on our side The shoe won't fit And though they think the war is won That's not the last of itDisenfranchised people Need their voices heard And if no one stops to listen Lose their faith in wordsAnd violence rises When all hope is lost Who'll embrace the human spirit And absorb the cost?Not one life is taken In my name In my nameHis world is suffering Her world is suffering Their world is suffering World citizenMy world is suffering Your world is suffering Our world is suffering World citizen
