patti smith group - citizen ship lyrics

[verse:]
it was nothing. it didn’t matter to me
there were tanks all over my city
there was water outside the windows
and children in the streets were throwing rocks at tanks
ain’t got a p-ssport ain’t got mt real name
ain’t got a chance sport at fortune or fame
as 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
’68 it broke the yard-birds. we were broke as well
took it underground
mc borderline. up against the wall
the wall. the wall. show your papers boy

citizen ship we got memories
stateless they got shame
cast adrift from the citizen ship
lifeline denied exile this castaway
i was caught up like a month with its wings out of sync
cut the cord. overboard. just a refugee
lady liberty lend a hand to me
i’ve been cast adrift
adrift[x6]
on the citizen ship we got memory
citizen ship you got pain
citizen ship you got ident-ty
a name a name a name
what’s your name son. new york city. what’s your name
what’s your name. what’s your name. name. wake up
new jersey. give me your tired your poor
give me your huddled m-sses
your war torn on your tender seas
give me your war torn
on your shoes of dawn
lift up your golden lamp for me
ah, it’s all mythology
