World Citizen - I Won't Be Disappointed - Long Version

Lyrics

There goes one baby's life
 It's such a small amount
 She's un-American
 I guess it doesn't count
 Six thousand children's lives were simply thrown away
 Lost without medicine inside of 30 days
 In the New York harbour where the stocks withheld
 It was the price we paid for a safer world
 World is suffering
 World is suffering
 World is suffering
 World citizen
 In Uttar Pradesh
 Where they're building dams
 They're displacing Native peoples from their homes and lands
 So they hunger strike 'cuz they believe they count
 To lose a single life
 It's such a small amount
 In the name of progress and democracy
 The concepts represented in name only
 His world is suffering
 Her world is suffering
 Their world is suffering
 World citizen
 World citizen
 World citizen
 And the buildings fall in a cloud of dust
 And we ask ourselves
 "How could they hate us?"
 Well, when we're living in ignorance and luxury
 While our superpowers practice puppet mastery
 We raise the men who run the fascist states
 And we sell them arms so they maintain their place
 We turn our backs on the things they've done
 Their human rights record and the guns they run
 His world is suffering
 Her world is suffering
 Their world is suffering
 World citizen
 My world is suffering
 Your world is suffering
 Our world is suffering
 World citizen
 Who'll do away with flags?
 Who'll do us proud?
 Remove the money from their pockets, scream dissent out loud?
 'Cuz God ain't on our side, the shoe won't fit
 And though they think the war is won, that's not the last of it
 Disenfranchised people need their voices heard
 And if no one stops to listen
 Lose their faith in words
 And violence rises when all hope is lost
 Who'll embrace the human spirit and absolve the cost?
 (Not one life is taken)
 (Not one life is taken)
 (In my name, in my name)
 (Not one life is taken)
 His world is suffering
 Her world is suffering
 Their world is suffering
 World citizen
 My world is suffering
 Your world is suffering
 Our world is suffering
 World citizen
 (Not one life is taken)
 (Not one life is taken)
 (In my name, in my name)
 (Not one life is taken)
 (In my name, in my name)
 (Not one life is taken)
 (In my name, in my name)
 (Not one life is taken)
 World citizen
 World citizen
 World citizen
 World citizen
 His world is suffering
 Her world is suffering
 Their world is suffering
 Our world is suffering
 World citizen
 World citizen
 World citizen
