Little Songbirds

lyrics

Little Songbirds

the cheap lie was exposed
its obviousness laid bare
a crude and self-evident lie
ah but most folks didn’t care
in fact the lie was told again
again and again most everywhere

the foolish path we thought we’d left behind
looks like we’re gonna have to walk on it once again
a rocky road full of dull mistakes
a broken trail of sin
but against all odds we’ll do our best
it’s a war we got to try and win

history repeats itself
i know you’ve heard it said
we wake up in the morning
climb out of our bed
you try to keep the beast at bay
keep his voice out of your head

now i’m whistling past the graveyard
don’t know what else can I do
just hoping there’ll be a little joy somewhere
once the working day is through
and i ain’t listening to no more lies
please just tell me something true

hear the little songbirds singing
they're singing nothing but the truth so help me God
y’see em in the trees up above
if you’re lucky they’ll give you a wink and a nod
we’ll keep listening to their songs along the way
along this rocky path we trod
yes we will
yes we will
