Today I set a bird afire
Didn't know the consequence
I admired their flight
Thought they were angels
But some winged creature told me otherwise

They told me to be careful
But the entire world's a playground
Still when I swing and jump and scream
I'm hanging behind bars
With those who say the answer is anarchy

My soul signs its signature in blood
Didn't know the reasoning
Behind great fires of floods
Thought it was coming
But some demon told me it's a hoax

Today I learned to speak in tongues
Didn't know I'd make new friends
I admired their voices
Thought they were comrades
But some man with a key told me otherwise

I just did disco on the Underground Railroad
Got caught in a fever from the blues
I did a jig to shake my wig off
And realized it was glued to my head
Point your fingers, supply and command
