Citizen Ship (Digitally Remastered 1996)

Citizen Ship - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)

I was nothing It didn't matter to me

Ah there were tags all over my sleeve

There was water outside the windows

And children in the streets rats with tags

Ain't got a passport

Ain't got my real name

Ain't got a chance sport at fortune and fame

And I walk these endless streets won't you give me a lift

A lift A lift On your citizen ship

They were rioting in Chicago movement in L A

Sixty-eight it broke up the Yardbirds

We were broke as well

Took it underground M C borderline up against the wall

The wall The wall

Show your papers boy

Citizen ship we got mem'ries

Stateless they got shame

Cast adrift from the citizen ship

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

Citizen ship we got mem'ries

Citizen ship we got pain

Cast adrift from the citizen ship

Lifeline denied exiled this castaway

I was caught 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 citizen ship we got mem'ries

Citizen ship we got pain

Lose your grip on the citizen ship

You're cast you're cast away

On the citizen ship you got mem'ry

Citizen ship you got pain

Citizen ship you got identity

A name A name A name

What's your name son

What's your name

What's your name

Nothing I got nothing

Jersey

Give me your tired your poor

Give me your huddled masses

Your wartorn

Give me your wartorn and your

Lift up your ( ) unto me

Ah mythology
