Citizen

You hit the jackpot, if all you wanted was to have all the answers
True or false, curse or a gift?
That easy certainty seduces and enchants us
Now we’re in the grifter’s grip

You’ve seen my papers, isn’t everything in order?
Am I in no position to resist?
For some transcendence is the burning of the borders;
Some think playing with their shit
Is the pinnacle of wit

Unlearn the Internationale
We’re citizens of nowhere now

And empathy merits you a blank stare
When you’re a citizen of nowhere
Born on the wrong side of the drawbridge, and it’s locked up tight, alright?

Should I keep hoping for the best?
Or for the Masque of the Red Death?

Unlearn the Internationale
We’re citizens of nowhere now
Burn your ID, and take a bow
We’re citizens of nowhere now

And when they meet you with that blank stare
You know you’re a citizen of nowhere
Disconnected and left to rot - O Theresa, maybe, maybe not

I dreamed that I was born again as a corporation
Fuck The Future, LLC
I got full benefits with my reincarnation
Oh I never felt so free

Unlearn the Internationale
We’re citizens of nowhere now
Remit remains to neutral ground
We’re citizens of nowhere now
