Counting Feathers
Sparrows and eagles
They're not born equal
Thanks to a difference in size
One is hatched pretty
The other's just gritty
Yet still they can share the skies
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
Address the nation
Air jet rotation
Applauds their righteous song
Clipboards held tightly
Both daily and nightly
To tell us what's right or wrong
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
Demanding revision
To fill a petition
Grim Reaper nappy clowns
Training breeds fitness
With God as my witness
I can't wait to shoot you down
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We really care
Like no one can
Down at the river
We find gold in mud
Stone hearts of silver
We'll pay with blood
Sound off your trumpet
Peace brings no profit
No relic will bring good luck
Forget evolution
I've found a solution
Let's chase the Almighty Buck
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
Delayed reaction
Lands no satisfaction
We want it all, we want it now
Forget our fathers
Turn our children to martyrs
Let King Midas take a bow
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We really care
Like no one can
Down at the river
We find gold in mud
Stone hearts of silver
We'll pay with blood
We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We'll take our share
As we demand
Ahead we march
Straight to the sun
We know our hearts
Justice be done
They're not born equal
Thanks to a difference in size
One is hatched pretty
The other's just gritty
Yet still they can share the skies
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
Address the nation
Air jet rotation
Applauds their righteous song
Clipboards held tightly
Both daily and nightly
To tell us what's right or wrong
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
Demanding revision
To fill a petition
Grim Reaper nappy clowns
Training breeds fitness
With God as my witness
I can't wait to shoot you down
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go
Through circus' hoops
They dance round, fast and slow
We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We really care
Like no one can
Down at the river
We find gold in mud
Stone hearts of silver
We'll pay with blood
Sound off your trumpet
Peace brings no profit
No relic will bring good luck
Forget evolution
I've found a solution
Let's chase the Almighty Buck
Counting their feathers
For better or worse, watch them go

We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We really care
Like no one can
Down at the river
We find gold in mud
Stone hearts of silver
We'll pay with blood
We'll save the air
We'll save the land
We'll take our share
As we demand
Ahead we march
Straight to the sun
We know our hearts
Justice be done
