Wishing that something would happen

A change in this place

Cause Im 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 outta step

In a changing time

Hoist a new flag

Hoist a new flag

Angry sun burned down

Judging us all

Guilty of neglect and disrespect

And thinking small

***ORIGINAL VERSE***

Death by bordem

Death by greed

If we cant stop taking

More than we need

Death by boredom, death by greed

If we cant stop taking more than we need

Watching the pages of history bleed

While we wash our hands

Hoist a new flag

Hoist a new flag

Well, across the fractured landscape

I see the same things

Tired ideas

Birds without wings

Birds without wings

Birds without wings

And these are just thoughts

On lackluster times

And Ive no interest

In excuses you can find

Like you’ve had a hard day

Now you’re to tired to care

Now you’re to tired to care

Oh 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 to 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

Birds
