I was nothing, it didn't matter to me   There were tags all over my sleeve   There was water outside the windows   And children in the streets are throwing rats with tags of a liar      Ain't got a passport, ain't got my real name   Ain't got a chance sport and fortune and fame   And I walk these endless streets, won't you give me a lift   A lift, a lift, on your citizenship      They were rioting in Chicago, movement in L.A.   Sixty eight it broke up the yard birds, we were broke as well   Took it underground, MC borderline, up against the wall   The wall, the wall, show your papers boy      Citizenship we got memories   Stateless, they got shame   Cast adrift from the citizenship   Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway      Blind Alley in New York City, in a foreign embrace   If you're hungry you're not too particular about what you'll taste   Men in uniform gave me vinegar, spoon of misery   But what the hell, I fell, I fell, it doesn't matter to me      Citizenship we got memories   Citizenship, we got pain   Cast adrift from the citizenship   Lifeline denied, exiled this castaway      I was caught up like a moth with its wings outta sync   Cut the chord, overboard, just a refugee   Lady Liberty, lend a hand to me, I've been cast adrift   Adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift, adrift      On the citizenship we got memories   Citizenship, we got pain   Lose your grip on the citizenship   You're cast, you're cast away      On the citizenship you got memories   Citizenship you got pain   Citizenship you got identity   A name, a name, a name, a name   Name, name, name, name      Yeah! What's your name, son?   What's your name?   What's your name?   A name   Forget your name you got a number      Nothing I've got nothing   Man I've got nothing in this [Incomprehensible]   Give me your tired, your poor   Give me your huddled masses      Your war torn on your [Incomprehensible]   Give me your war torn and your shores of none   Lift up your door and your problem to me   Mythology
