To Be the Birds
You don't know my body
You don't know my body no
Everybody else sees
Where you see nobody no
No, ah ah ah
No, ah ah
No, ah ah ah ah ah
Na, ah ah
And even as you cut me
I'm breathing hard and steady no
I'll grab you by the collar
Singing you don't own my body
Cause my spirit's always been free, yeah
Singing you don't own my body
Cause my spirit's always been free, yeah
See, none of us are surprised
When you smile and shoot where all the camera's at
You act like we've all gone wild
Cause I won't stay down when you put me down
See, none of us are surprised
When you smile and shoot where all the camera's at
You act like we've all gone wild
Cause I won't stay down when you put me down, ooh ooh ooh
And I wanna fly and be just as high as you, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
You don't know my body no
Everybody else sees
Where you see nobody no
No, ah ah ah
No, ah ah
No, ah ah ah ah ah
Na, ah ah
And even as you cut me
I'm breathing hard and steady no
I'll grab you by the collar
Singing you don't own my body
Cause my spirit's always been free, yeah
Singing you don't own my body
Cause my spirit's always been free, yeah
See, none of us are surprised
When you smile and shoot where all the camera's at
You act like we've all gone wild
Cause I won't stay down when you put me down
See, none of us are surprised
When you smile and shoot where all the camera's at
You act like we've all gone wild
Cause I won't stay down when you put me down, ooh ooh ooh
And I wanna fly and be just as high as you, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
Oh to be the birds
That cut into the future
To carry all our names
