Lyrics
First World 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.
She walked out of the station in flames
Crossed over the 38th parallel, hitched, made a ride to the west
Big appetites, those American guys
Chew up whatever the dollar buys
To be a first world citizen
To be a first world citizen
She will take up all your checks, no respect
I will work all the hours in the day
When they say "jump," they wanna hear "how high?"
I have lost everything
Didn't ask for anything
I would take anything, anything at all
To be a first world citizen
To be a first world citizen
I have lost everything
Didn't ask for anything
I would take anything, anything at all
To be a first world citizen
To be a first world citizen
To be a first world citizen
To be a first world citizen
