Citizen, citizen, citizen, citizen
Citizen, a cure to kill the east
A disease of the west
A romance is no escape
But I'll escape youThe manufacture sound
Complaining to ourselves
You're cutting up our friends
Making love to our sistersAnother endless day
Another daze
But I'm losing track
The train goes off the railsDance of the youth
Youth want to danceCitizen, the tribal war begins
But radio's a God
Industrial money
God is industry(Dance of youth)
Citizen, we know what we're after
You know what we're after
Know what we're after
Know what we're afterCitizen, the state that we've come to love
Love's a crime against the state
I hate the sound of bellsCommunications lost
Something we're after
I hate democracy
One more contact lostLove, a crime against the state
The state we've come to love
Oh, electric candle lightWhat time is it over there?
We got to wear a badge
We're losing track of daysDance of the youth
Youth want to danceCitizen, I'll share a room with you
You're getting so very thin
Did we ask for this
Are you rationing our water?Dance of the youth
Our food is getting cold
And you're getting colder
(Citizen)
I see you
I'm not so unawareCitizen, an American
Got, got a camera
Takes a picture
