Birdie |
Take off, little winged creature |
It’s nothing but teens in ravines |
And antics on concrete down here |
And are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe? |
Let me tell you why some day, birdie, you’re gonna envy me |
Some dream of a world written in lines of code |
Well, I hope they engineer out politics, romance, and edifice |
Two outta three ain’t bad |
Some envision a state governed by laws of business |
Merger and acquisition instead of violence on nations |
Where do I sign up? |
Take off, little winged creature |
It’s nothing but fallen debris, strollers, and babies down here |
And you may be up in the sky |
But our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide |
What with all our best attempts at transcendence |
Something’s bound to take |
Soon, we’ll live in a global culture devoid of gender or race |
There’s just one tiny line: |
You’re either born behind or you’re free to peek inside |
Life as just narrative, metadata in aggregate |
Where the enigma of humanity’s wrapped up finally |
That, as they say, is that |
Oh, that day can’t come soon enough |
It’ll be so glorious |
When they finally find out what’s bugging us |
