Citizens Lyrics

Giant lights, birdless skies
Throw me on the road
Wound tight, misfire
Darling, the killer you know

White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

Women and men
Citizens
Carry your own cross
Careless, careless
You are the albatross

White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

Pine box, stop the clocks
Why can't both be true
High times, high crimes
Medals for you to salute

White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

White lies, white lies
