World Citizen (I Won't Be Disappointed)

[Verse 1]

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 way, but not for you

[Chorus]

World citizen

World citizen

[Verse 2]

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?

[Chorus]

World citizen

World citizen

[Bridge]

And if I stop and talk with you awhile

I'm overwhelmed by the scale of everything you feel

The lonely inner state emergency

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

I won't be disappointed

I won't be disappointed

I won't be

[Verse 4]

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 safe; I think I need a second skin

No, I'm not safe

[Chorus]

World citizen

World citizen

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

World citizen

World citizen

[Bridge]

I won't be disappointed

I won't be

[Verse 5]

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?

[Outro Bridge]

I won't be disappointed

I won't be disappointed

I won't be...
