lyrics

Stateless
By Chris Colepaugh & Craig Watson

a citizen of the modern world,
a citizen left undone
a citizen with no stone unturned,
enemy number one
a lack of any race or creed,
desperate for disdain
a citizen cares in quiet despair,
lacking all but name

drop the flag I’m American ready
these deviled eyes pan slow and steady
raise the flag for the stateless one
I'll pump my fists and fire my guns

despite the rise, despite the fall ,
despite what he has heard
a genius rendered motionless,
his work thus undisturbed
a genius lacking race or creed,
a citizen no more
the wolf is tamed by social shame
and rests outside his door
