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 youve had a hard day
Now youre to tired to care
Now youre to tired to care
Oh youve 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
Were just birds without wings
Birds without wings
Birds without wings
Birds
