World Citizen - I Won’t Be Disappointed - Hildur Gudnadottir Remodel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What happened here? The butterfly has lost its wings The air's too thick to breathe and there's something in the drinking water The sun comes up; The sun comes up and you're alone Your sense of purpose come undone; The traffic tails back to the maze on 101 And the news from the sky is looking better for today In every single way, but not for you [Chorus] World citizen World citizen [Verse 2] And it's not safe; All the yellow birds are sleeping Cos the air's not fit for breathing, it's not safe Why can't we be; Without beginning, without end? Why can't we be? [Chorus] World citizen World citizen [Bridge] And if I stop and talk with you awhile I'm overwhelmed by the scale of everything you feel The lonely inner state emergency [Verse 3] I want to feel until my heart can take no more And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give I want to break the indifference of the days I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake [Bridge] I won't be disappointed I won't be disappointed I won't be [Verse 4] I saw a face, it was a face I didn't know Her sadness told me everything about my own Can't let it be, when least expected there she is Gone the time and space that separates us I'm not safe; I think I need a second skin No, I'm not safe [Chorus] World citizen World citizen [Bridge] I want to travel by night across the steppes and over seas I want to understand the cost of everything that's lost I want to pronounce all their names correctly [Chorus] World citizen World citizen [Bridge] I won't be disappointed I won't be [Verse 5] She doesn't laugh; We've gone from comedy to commerce And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon I turn away, and I'm not sleeping well at night And while I know this isn't right, what can you do?
