Black Bird Lyrics

We had our chance some time ago
And it cost us thousands of lives
Instead of fighting as a whole
We did prefer to let it go

They say we live in freedom now
We should be fully satisfied
But the only thing they really care
Is how much money they can make

Now tell me, do you really agree
With everything they’re asking for?
Not me, not you, not them, not us
But the whole world is what they want

Instead of using whips and chains
They’ve got now banks to enslave us all
Pay now or you will feel yourself
How fast they can ruin your life

No one has the right to tell us how
We shall live our lives
I´m fed up with bastards who dare to
Criticize our acts

They instruct us in the art of
Being selfish and vulgar
In a world of Hawks, Vultures and Crows,
I´d rather be a Black Bird

They do not own our lives, Black Bird
Fly free and break your cage, Black Bird

Now listen carefully my words
Another world is possible
A place where greed is not allowed
No need to fear, no need to hate

We’ve got the tools we need for it
It’s time to join voices and hands
And make the Earth the place we want
Cleaning the sewer that´s today
