Birdie

Take off little winged creature
It's nothing but teens in ravines
And antiques on concrete down here
Are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe
Well, let me tell you why someday, birdie, you're gonna envy me
Some dream of a world
Written in lines of code
Well, I hope they engineer out politics, romance, and edifice
Two outta three ain' t bad
Some envision a state
Gonverned by laws of business
Merger and acquisition
Instead of violence or nations
Where do I sign up?
Take off little winged creature
It's nothing but falling debris, strollers and babies down here
You may be up in the sky but our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide
What with all our best attempts at transcendence
Something's bound to take
Soon, we'll live in a global culture
Devoid of gender or race
There's just one tiny line
You're either born behind
Or you're free to peak inside
Life as just narrative
Meta-data in aggregate
Where the enigma of humanity's
Wrapped up finally
That as they say is that
Oh, that day can't come soon enough
It'll be so glorious
When they finally find out what's bugging us
