Today I set a bird afire
Didn’t know the consequence
I admired their flight
Thought they were angels
But some winged creature told me otherwise
*
They told me to be careful
But the entire world’s a playground
Still when I swing and jump and scream
I’m hanging behind bars
With those who say the answer is anarchy
*
My soul signs its signature in blood
Didn’t know the reasoning
Behind great fires of floods
Thought it was coming
But some demon told me it’s a hoax
*
Today I learned to speak in tongues
Didn’t know I’d make new friends
I admired their voices
Thought they were comrades
But some man with a key told me otherwise
*
I just did disco on the Underground Railroad
Got caught in a fever from the blues
I did a jig to shake my wig off
And realized it was glued to my head
Point your fingers, supply and command
