Birds Without Wings
Wishing that something would happenA change in this place,'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrappingFind an empty package
Take for a whileYour trumpet from your lipLoosen your hold, loosen your gripOn your old waysThat have fallen out of stepIn a changing timeHoist a new flagHoist a new flag
Angry sun burn downJudging us allGuilty of neglect and disrespectAnd thinking small
And death by boredomAnd death by greedIf we can't stop takingMore than we need
But across the fractured landscapeI find the same thingsTired ideasBirds without wings
Birds without wingsBirds without wings
And these are just thoughtsOn lack-lustre timesI've no interestIn excuses you can find
Like you've had a hard dayNow you've too tired to careNow you're too tired to careYou've had a hard day
Well across the fractured landscapeI see the same thingsTired ideas broken valuesMany with the notionThat to share is to loseA hollow people bound by a lackOf imagination and too much looking back Without the courageTo give a new thing a chanceGrounded by this ignorance
(and the cat comes)We're just,
Birds without wingsBirds without wingsBirds without wings
