Citizen soldier arrested tonight
He was black as a panther high as a kite
Well you take a pill in 'cause you don't really mind

And I'll believe anything I read
And I could believe anything
But i can't believe in you

You could believe everything you see
But you're so desperately blind from me
And you can't believe the truth

Keep me grounded
Keep me sane
And keep me guessing what your name
I don't really care about that

Keep me grounded
Keep me sane
And keep me guessing what your name is
I'm drowning out in the backseat in your hand

If you wanna be free
Get out of here
They'll put you down every day of the year
If you wanna be safe then you
You can't go home
'Cause your fatherwill break you to the skin of your bones
If you wanna be happy then you better
Leave me here
'Cause I'll bring you back and I'll bring you fear

Citizen soldier arrested tonight
He was black as a panther and high as a kite
Well I wish I'd forget it but I know that I'll never know

I'll believe anything I read
And I'll believe in anything
But I wanna look up and see something real for once

I wanna get out and I wanna make it
But I know that they will all desperately fade it
I'm going now but I don't know where I'll land

You could believe in anything
But you couldn't just look at me
And see what I knew was the only truth

If you wanna be free
Then you better stay away from here
Because we'll break you down and we'll show you where you'll go

And I'm drowning in the backseat in my arms
And I know that I'd never bring you harm
I'd protect you if I knew how

Shoot you down and they'll tell you you're wrong
And keep you listening and tell you the song is
Changing for you 'cause the freedom march is gone

Gas from the window and tell me you see me
I don't believe you and you don't believe me
We're going down together anyway

Citizen soldier arrested tonight
They shot him in the back andthey said they were right
Because they don't believe the only thing that's true

Keep me grounded
Keep me sane
Keep me guessing what your name is
Shoot me down because I don't deserve it now

Keep me grounded
Keep me sane
I see myself sinking towards the drain
I'm liquid fire
I don't know what I believe

Citizen soldier arrested tonight
He was black as a panther and high as a kite
And they'll tell you that they will do the same to you

Stand in the roadways and knock at the door
They're coming out because they know what the saw
It's the same fucking thing they'll see when you make your sword
