[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]
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

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
