Wishing that something would happen
                      
A change in this place
                                      
Cause Im tearing off the fancy rapping
                    
Find an empty package
                     
Take for a while your trumpet from your lip
                
Loosen your hold loosen you 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 burns down judging us all
                     
Guilty of neglect and disrespect
                 
And thinking small
                             
Death by boredom death by greed
                                      
If we cant stop taking more than we need
                                   
Well across the fractured landscape
                                  
I see the same things –– tired ideas
           
Birds without wings
           
Birds without wings

                           
And these are just thoughts
                    
On lack-luster times
                   
And Ive no interest
                       
In accuses 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

                                    
While across the fractured landscape
                    
I see the same thing
           
Tired ideas broken values
                            
Many with the notion that to share is to loose
               
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
                                  
And we’re just, birds without wings
                  
Birds without wings
                  
Birds without wings
