Birds Without Wings

Song	Birds Without Wings
Artist	David Gray
Album	Shine: The Best Of The Early Years

	作词 : Gray
	Wishing that something would happen
	A change in this place
	'Cos I'm 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 out of step
	In a changing time
	Hoist a new flag
	Hoist a new flag
	Angry sun burn down
	Judging us all
	Guilty of neglect and disrespect
	And thinking small
	And death by boredom
	And death by greed
	If we can't stop taking
	More than we need
	But 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
	Of lack lustre times
	I've no interest
	In excuses you can find
	Like you've had a hard day
	Now you're too tired to care
	Now you're too tired to care
	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 too 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
