[00:00:00] WORLD CITIZEN (Short version) - 坂本龍一 (さかもと りゅういち)/David Sylvian

[00:00:00] Written by：David Sylvian/Tayor Deupree/Ryoji Ikeda/Ryuichi Sakamoto

[00:00:00] There goes one baby's life

[00:00:03] It's such a small amount

[00:00:05] She's un-American

[00:00:08] I guess it doesn't count

[00:00:11] Six thousand children's lives

[00:00:14] Were simply thrown away

[00:00:17] Lost without medicine

[00:00:19] Inside of thirty days

[00:00:23] In the New York harbour

[00:00:25] Where the stock's withheld

[00:00:28] It was the price we paid

[00:00:31] For a safer world

[00:00:34] World is suffering

[00:00:36] World is suffering

[00:00:39] World is suffering

[00:00:42] World citizen

[00:00:48] In Madhya Pradesh

[00:00:51] Where they're building dams

[00:00:53] They're displacing native people

[00:00:56] From their homes and lands

[00:00:59] So they hunger strike

[00:01:01] Cause they believe they count

[00:01:04] To lose a single life

[00:01:07] Is such a small amount

[00:01:10] In the name of progress

[00:01:13] And democracy

[00:01:16] The concepts represented

[00:01:18] In name only

[00:01:21] His world is suffering

[00:01:24] Her world is suffering

[00:01:26] Their world is suffering

[00:01:29] World citizen

[00:01:32] World citizen

[00:01:38] World citizen

[00:01:46] And the buildings fall

[00:01:49] In a cloud of dust

[00:01:52] And we ask ourselves

[00:01:55] How could they hate us

[00:01:57] Well when we live in

[00:02:00] Ignorance and luxury

[00:02:03] While our super powers practice

[00:02:06] Puppet mastery

[00:02:09] We raise the men

[00:02:11] Who run the fascist states

[00:02:14] And we sell them arms

[00:02:17] So they maintain their place

[00:02:20] We turn our backs

[00:02:22] On the things they done

[00:02:26] Their human rights record

[00:02:28] And the guns they run

[00:02:31] His world is suffering

[00:02:33] Her world is suffering

[00:02:36] Their world is suffering

[00:02:39] World citizen

[00:02:42] My world is suffering

[00:02:44] Your world is suffering

[00:02:47] Our world is suffering

[00:02:50] World citizen

[00:02:56] Who'll do away with flags

[00:02:59] Who'll do us proud

[00:03:01] Remove the money from their pockets

[00:03:04] Scream dissent out loud

[00:03:08] Cause God ain't on our side

[00:03:11] The shoe won't fit

[00:03:12] And though they think the war is won

[00:03:15] That's not the last of it

[00:03:19] Disenfranchised people

[00:03:21] Need their voices heard

[00:03:24] And if no one stops to listen

[00:03:27] Lose their faith in words

[00:03:30] And violence rises

[00:03:32] When all hope is lost

[00:03:35] Who'll embrace the human spirit

[00:03:38] And absorb the cost

[00:03:40] Not one life is taken

[00:03:42] In my name

[00:03:45] In my name

[00:03:48] Not one life is taken

[00:03:53] In my name

[00:03:56] In my name

[00:03:59] Not one life is taken
