Birds
Times were tough, I'd saved some money
had some day time off
had to get away to get my jollies off
so I left as quick as I could
but when I came home
I'd realized I'd left the lights all on
the heat was blasting and the windows were all open and it was lettin' all the cold
air in
and as I looked out I could see them
on the top of the hill
about to fly up away to some far off land
flyin' high above the silly drama all us humans have and I wish I could be more like
them flying overhead
Oh hours later my bones were broken and my pride was hurt
I should have learned to keep my big mouth shut
Mmmm...
Oh I screwed up, I can admit that now that I'm layed up, immobilized and praying
that someone would come in and shut that open window that keeps on letting that cold
air seep into my bones
and as I looked out I could see them
on the top of the hill
about to fly up away to some far off land
flyin' high above the silly drama all us humans have and I wish I could be more like
them flying overhead
Oh sweatin' all the small stuff makes the tough times even tougher, there are quotas
to be met,
big competitions with one another
stress can be a motivator, but also an instigator
so I will keep it all locked down so it can kill me some day later
Oh I don't know what the hell we gonna do this for, sometimes I wish I could just
fly out that open window and let the wind take me where it wants me to go
Oh as I fly out I'll meet them on the top of the hill and we'll fly up away to some
far off land
we'll be flying high abpve the silly drama all you humans have and I will be just
like them flying overhead.
