Lyrics

A CITIZEN

Verse 1:
Have you read the papers lately
have you watched the news, today
have you ever shaken hands
with the devil and his views
Are we voters hard of hearing
are our eye's too blind to see
cause I can't shake this feeling
that we're never really free

Chorus 1:
I cannot count the soldiers
who fight in endless wars
while all the massive secrets
are locked up in government drawers

Verse 2:
Leaders are our servants
Trust us so they say
but I'd rather trust a feeling
than the promises they've made
They say things will get better
It takes time to make a change
but I have the strangest feeling
that they'll never change their ways

Chorus 2:
I cannot count the soldiers
who fight in endless wars
while all the massive secrets
are locked up in government drawers

Bridge:
Some would call me traitor
to my country and it's flag
But I tell them I'm a citizen
in a world that's truly mad mad mad

Chorus 3:
I cannot count the soldiers
who fight in endless wars
while all the massive secrets
are locked up in government drawers
