Citizen [Dance of youth] lyrics

Citizen

A cure to kill the east

A disease of the west

Romance is no escape

But I'll escape you

The manufacturing sound

Complaining to ourselves

You're cutting up our friends

Making love to our sisters

Another endless day

Another daze

But I'm losing track

The train goes off the rails

Dance Of The Youth

Youth want to dance

Citizen

The tribal war begins

But radio's a God

Industrial money

God is industry

Dance of youth

Citizen you know what we're after

Know what we're after

Know what we're after

Citizen

The state that we've come to love

Love's a crime against the state

I hate the sound of bells

Communications lost

Something we're after

I hate democracy

One more contact lost

Love

A crime against the state

The state we've come to love

Oh electric candle light

What time is it over there

We got to wear a badge

We're losing track of days

Dance of the youth

Youth want to dance

Citizen

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

I see you

I'm not so unaware

Citizen

Citizen

An American

Got got a camera

Takes a picture

Citizen

Drum

Citizen

Drum

Citizen

Drum

To drum to drum
