Short Bird
A short bird found my window today
It asked, Do you wanna play
You've got some nifty moves there, kid
How'd you like to get paid
I've perched myself on other window sills in the past
I've made starlets out of humble nests
You've got a special something no one else has got, I said
You could be the best... Yes
A short bird found my window today
It told me how to make the grade
To grow the tree you plant the seed, don't you see
You don't get nothin' for free
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird signed a deal today
It said, Hey, I've got a roost to maintain
If you wanna land the spot to sell your art, well
You gotta play the game... Okay
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird picked my insides dry
It said, I gotta eat, that ain't no crime
Your bones will serve new homes for future crones
So, thanks for your time... Alright
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird found my window today
It asked, Do you wanna play
You've got some nifty moves there, kid
How'd you like to get paid
I've perched myself on other window sills in the past
I've made starlets out of humble nests
You've got a special something no one else has got, I said
You could be the best... Yes
A short bird found my window today
It told me how to make the grade
To grow the tree you plant the seed, don't you see
You don't get nothin' for free
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird signed a deal today
It said, Hey, I've got a roost to maintain
If you wanna land the spot to sell your art, well
You gotta play the game... Okay
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line

Your bones will serve new homes for future crones
So, thanks for your time... Alright
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right ain't fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird found my window today
