G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
Take off,..!! little winged creature
G7 G7sus4
It's nothing but teens in ravines
C9 F Fsus4 F
And antics on concrete down here
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
And are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe!!..?
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
Let me tell you why some day,..!! Birdie,..!! you're gonna envy me
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Some dream of a world written in lines of code
G7 G7sus4 C9
Well,..!! I hope they engineer out politics,..!! romance,..!! and edifice
F Fsus4 F
Two outta three ain't bad
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Some envision a state governed by laws of business
G7 G7sus4 C9
Merger and acquisition instead of violence or nations
F Fsus4 F
Where do I sign up!!..?
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
Take off,..!! little winged creature
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
It's nothing but falling debris,..!! strollers,..!! and babies down here
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
And you may be up in the sky but our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide
G7 G7sus4 C9
What with all our best attempts at transcendence
F Fsus4 F
Something's bound to take
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Soon,..!! we'll live in a global culture devoid of gender or race
G7
There's just one tiny line
G7sus4 C9
You're either born behind
F Fsus4 F
Or you're free to peek inside
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Life as just narrative,..!! metadata in aggregate
G7 G7sus4 C9
Where the enigma of humanity's wrapped up finally
F Fsus4 F
That as they say is that
Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Oh,..!! that day can't come soon enough
Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
It'll be so glorious
Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
When they finally find out what's bugging us
