Lyrics:

   Little red bird under a chair
   Waiting for the crumbs to fall
   Daddy said "get a job"
   But don't you see, daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?

   Guns and gods and little red birds
   Guns and gods and little red birds
   Don't you see, daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?

   General Custer it's said overestimated
   His abilities to win
   Sitting Bull turned the tables on him
   Comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost

   Guns and gods and little red birds
   Guns and gods and little red birds
   Comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost

   If there was a place hidden in the stars
   Reflecting on heaven's graces
   If God had an honest face
   A troubled expression would be watching over the human race
