Citizen Ship by Patti Smith
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 passport ain't got my 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 up the Yardbirds. 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 exiled this castaway

Blind alley in New York City in a foreign embrace
If you're hungry you're not too particular about what you'll taste
Men in uniform gave me vinegar spoon of misery
But what the hell I fell I fell. It doesn't matter to me
Citizen ship we got memories.
Citizen ship we got pain
Cast adrift from the citizen ship
Lifeline denied exiled this castaway
I was caught up like a moth 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. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift
On the citizen ship we got memory.
Citizen ship we got pain
Lose your grip on the citizen ship
You're cast you're cast away
On the citizen ship you got memory
Citizen ship you got pain
Citizen ship you got identity
A name. Ivan. A name. Ivan Kral. Name. Name.
What's your name son. New York City. What's your name.
What's your name. What's your name. Name. Nothing.
I got nothing. Name. Name. Name. Name. Wake up
New Jersey. Give me your tired your poor. Give me your huddled masses
Your war torn on your tender seas. Give me your war torn
On your shores of dawn. Lift up your golden lamp for me.
Ahh it's all mythology
