Birdsong

Do you hear the sparrow singing?
Up in the trees, away from all the
Years and fears
Distractions of life

Do you hear the oriels orders?
Commands the crowd through crumbling forest
He calls for change
But it's a forbidden phrase

Bird song, bird song
So delicate and I'm so strong
Bird song, bird song
How many years until you're gone?

Why do we feed the raven silver?
His pockets are full, but nothing's delivered
It's one more war: a genocide

Can you find the finch's feathers?
They're plated in gold and shelved forever
In some 6 bath home
In Arlington heights

While your 6 kids alone
On skid row tonight

Bird song, bird song
Your melody strings me along
Bird song, bird song
How many years until you're gone?

How will you feel when the birds stop singing?
When tufts of their skin, in treetops clinging
From of the bombs, do you hear them ringing?

Let's compromise
Fore our demise
Corruption ties
Cross all lines
