[00:00.00]What happened here?
[00:03.550]The butterfly has lost its wings
[00:07.720]The air's too thick to breathe
[00:10.750]And there's something in the drinking water.
[00:21.040]The sun comes up
[00:24.740]The sun comes up and you're alone
[00:28.040]Your sense of purpose come undone
[00:31.570]The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
[00:42.810]And the news from the sky
[00:45.980]Is looking better for today
[00:50.200]In every single way
[00:53.020]But not for you
[00:57.250]World citizen
[01:04.239]World citizen
[01:10.879]It's not safe
[01:14.680]All the yellow birds are sleeping
[01:18.150]Cos the air's not fit for breathing
[01:21.680]It's not safe
[01:24.760]Why can't we be
[01:28.700]Without beginning, without end?
[01:32.188]Why can't we be?
[01:39.920]World citizen
[01:46.799]World citizen
[01:53.780]And if I stop
[01:58.110]And talk with you awhile
[02:00.840]I'm overwhelmed by the scale
[02:04.870]Of everything you feel
[02:08.649]The lonely inner state emergency
[02:18.530]I want to feel
[02:22.159]Until my heart can take no more
[02:25.899]And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give
[02:32.989]I want to break
[02:36.569]The indifference of the days
[02:39.949]I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake
[02:47.039]I won't be disappointed
[02:54.220]I won't be disappointed
[03:01.189]I won't be.
[03:10.310]I saw a face
[03:13.560]It was a face I didn't know
[03:16.789]Her sadness told me everything about my own
[03:24.159]Can't let it be
[03:27.859]When least expected there she is
[03:31.500]Gone the time and space that separates us
[03:38.669]And I'm not safe
[03:42.229]I think I need a second skin
[03:45.829]No, I'm not safe
[03:53.319]World citizen
[04:00.329]World citizen
[04:07.389]I want to travel by night
[04:10.599]Across the steppes and over seas
[04:14.569]I want to understand the cost
[04:18.490]Of everything that's lost
[04:21.728]I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[04:28.939]World citizen
[04:35.940]World citizen
[04:42.639]I won't be disappointed
[04:49.889]I won't be.
[04:57.079]She doesn't laugh
[05:00.420]We've gone from comedy to commerce
[05:04.269]And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon
[05:11.250]I turn away
[05:14.879]And I'm not sleeping well at night
[05:18.360]And while I know this isn't right
[05:21.728]What can you do?
