This morning I found a bird in my family tree
It was singing aloud sayinâ youâre not what you should be
Take a look at yourself and tell me what you find
Youâre a silent voice enclosed in a shallow mind
Family come together, say whatever, and youâre never understood
Family come together, do whatever, but they never say youâre good
(Give it up)
What should I do with this bird in my family tree
What could I say to the voice of my own misery
Is there a way to see what Iâm really like
Or am I just a fool on the hill with a mountainbike ?
Family come together, say whatever, and youâre never understood
Family come together, make it better, but they never do you good
(Give it up)
Bridge
Down the drain/Lookinâ for love/Waiting for a new messiah
Everybody thinks they oughta own their own share of desires
Kill the pain/Try to look tough/Try to keep the sacred fire
If everybody said : « Iâm unique !! » - we would all be liars !
This morning I found a bird in my own backyard
It was singinâ aloud sayinâ : « you are what you areâ¦
You are your fatherâs son and thereâs nothinâ you can do
To wipe this inheritance from your attitude⦠»
Thereâs nothinâ you can do â to cut this tree in twoâ¦
(Give it up)
