World Citizen - I Won’t Be Disappointed

What happened here?

The butterfly has lost its wings

The air’s too 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 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 wayBut not for you
World citizen
World citizen
It’s not safe

All the yellow birds are sleeping

Cos the air’s 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 stop

And talk with you awhile

I’m overwhelmed by the scale

Of everything you feel

The lonely inner 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 break

The indifference of the days

I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake
I won’t be disappointed

I won’t be disappointed

I won’t be.
I saw a face

It was a face I didn’t know

Her sadness told me everything about my own
Can’t let it be

When least expected there she is

Gone the time and space that separates us
And I’m not safeI think I need a second skin

No, I’m not safe
World citizen
World citizen
I want to travel by night

Across the steppes and over seas

I want to understand the cost

Of everything that’s lost

I want to pronounce all their names correctly
World citizen
World citizen
I won’t be disappointed

I won’t be.
She doesn’t laugh

We’ve gone from comedy to commerce

And she doesn’t feel the ground she walks upon
I turn away

And I’m not sleeping well at night

And while I know this isn’t right

What can you do?
