I Am Citizen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Christ we were dying in the streets running one last anthem
Through your heart. swearing life on liberty i'll take a dream
An ideal die sound in a lonely death. pass this compromise
On...... my regrets to columbus (ga) and nothing more when
Reagan became the final word. just one month later they shot
Lennon dead, will anybody cry for me? all nations claim until
They day that i die, i am citizen. we'll let music rule our
Life, celebrate shortcomings. if it's not angry young and
Beautiful, i don't want any part of it. who do you have to cheat
To get what you want, who do you lie to, to get what you need?
You deserve everything you got coming to you...
