Lyrics

I can't look at the rocket launch 
The trophy wives of the astronauts 
And I won't listen to their words 
'Cause I like 
Birds 
 
I don't care for walkin' down town 
Crazy auto car gonna mow me down 
Look at all the people like cows in a herd 
Well I like 
Birds 
 
If you're small 
And on a search 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on 
 
I can't stand in line at the store 
The mean little people are such a bore 
But it's all right if you act like a turd 
'Cause I like 
Birds 
 
If you're small 
And on a search 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on 
 
If you're small 
And on a search 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on 
If you're small 
And on a search 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on 
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
