Two Birds

Two birds sitting on a wire Big one makes his move He spreads his feathers, rubs his beak Boy and girl are leaving school He is shy, but she will follow him She don’t know why Life is short, and then you sleep Pull down the wall It’s only masking honesty Pull down the wall It’s breaking up the family Pull down the wall Hear the true call Start the day with little things They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings Look at what is in your heart How could it be wrong? The little man is telling you People gathering in the square They’ve had enough Their leaders they are killing them Life is short, and then you sleep Pull down the wall It’s only masking honesty Pull down the wall It’s breaking up the family Pull down the wall Hear the true call Start the day with little things They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings When all the banks began to fail I thought that we would have a change But they found all this cash We didn’t have to patch it up again They never think to spend the money On the everlasting broke Or the sick, what a waste Two birds in the promised land One is building walls to keep the other in its place Imprisoned like the special son He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out Life is short, and then you sleep Pull down the wall It’s only masking honesty Pull down the wall It’s breaking up the family Pull down the wall Hear the true call Start the day with little things They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings
