Lyrics for Some Birds

Some birds just sit useless, like fists I wrestle on TV but no one ever lets me win I lean on the wall like a broom Confused by the scope of it all Any fool can tell the truth And no, I don't think I should Add one to the sum Of all that you fear I'd love to take you down And leave you there In my window, I have a twin I look out, he looks in He has a point, I applaud My goodness, my god Is it my fault the countrysides Are so full of suicide? I break bricks with my heart Only a fool would call it art And no, I don't think that I should Be one of the sum Of all that you fear I'd love to take you down And leave you there I'd love to take you down And leave you there So why fuss, why not bend Like a nail, hammered in? Oh, times are tough If I recall, oh, it ain't easy No, not all And no, I don't think I should Complete the sum Of all that you fear I'd love to take you down And leave you there I'd love to take you down Down and leave you there
