Birds Without Wings |
Wishing that something would happen |
A change in this place |
'Cos I’m tearing off the fancy wrapping |
Find an empty package |
Take for a while, your trumpet from your lip |
Loosen your hold, loosen your grip |
On your old ways that have fallen out of step |
In a changing time |
Hoist a new flag |
Hoist a new flag |
Angry sun burn down |
Judging us all |
Guilty of neglect and disrespect |
And thinking small |
And death by boredom |
And death by greed |
If we can’t stop taking |
More than we need |
Well across the fractured landscape |
I find the same things |
Tired ideas |
Birds without wings |
Birds without wings |
Birds without wings |
And these are just thoughts |
On lack-luster times |
I’ve no interest |
In excuses you can find |
Like you’ve had a hard day |
Now you’ve too tired to care |
Now you’re too tired to care |
You’ve had a hard day |
Well across the fractured landscape |
I see the same things |
Tired ideas, broken values |
Many with the notion that to share is to lose |
A hollow people bound by a lack |
Of imagination and too much looking back |
Without the courage to give a new thing a chance |
Grounded by this ignorance |
(And the cat comes) |
We’re just |
Birds without wings |
Birds without wings |
Birds without wings |
