With a nod to Johnny Cash in the guitar style, this song talks about the state of the world today and also makes reference to the cult TV series The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan as Number 6.
Words and music: Steve Andrews

The TV series The Prisoner gave me the idea for some of the lyrics.

I'm sick of all of this frustration, I think it's time for a demonstration, I'm tired of living in a failing nation, With the bad news of tomorrow. A citizen of earth is who I am, I'm gonna get by any way I can, A citizen of worth is what I am, Not just another number in this land. The news stories just make you sick, Everybody's looking for a dog to kick, If you're looking for luck, Then take your pick, Here's another incredible prize draw. A citizen of earth is who I am, I'm gonna get by any way I can, A citizen of worth is what I am, Not just another number in this land. I'm sick of all of these envelopes, That take away your money, And take away your hopes, If you're not rich, how can you cope, Under commercial exploitation? A citizen of earth is who I am, I'm gonna get by any way I can, A citizen of worth is what I am, Not just another number in this land. The Roman Empire was much like today, Patricians and Plebeians and social decay, Until the fires burned it all away, The Ghost of Nero's still fiddling. A citizen of earth is who I am, I'm gonna get by any way I can, A citizen of worth is what I am, Not just another number in this land.
