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
