Citizen Lyrics by Phil Cooper

Thoughts & Observations

2018

I am a citizen of the world
It's in my benefit that fairness rules
If no one is better and no one is worse
We’ll always be equal, we'll all live in peace
And still I know what human nature is
Some people crave more power than this
And so I will seek protection from the western world
I am a citizen of the western world
With all the freedom that our market brings
With no monopoly, the choice will keep us free
No one can make a slave of me
But still I know human nature is greed
And some people will cut you and make you bleed
And so I align myself with my country first
I am a citizen of my country first
The common values we hold will never fade
If I watch their backs then they will watch mine
It just makes us stronger we'll always be fine
And yet I know that human nature is sly
They seek to infiltrate but I’d like to see them try
And so I will stand up strong for my race and creed
I am a citizen of my race and creed
No one should try to force their values on me
I'm free to attack what they choose to teach
\After all I have freedom of speech
And yet I know that human nature is weak
And they will brainwash us if we let them speak
And so I look after myself and it's just me
I am a citizen and it's only me
I am the only one who can set us free
No one can tell me that this isn't true
They're coming for me and they're coming for you
And yet I know that human nature is all around
The hand that I hold, will hold back the hounds
And that's what I tell myself as they drag me down
