Sweet Bird Of Truth

Sweet Bird Of Truth - THE THE

6 o'clock in the morning & i'm the last person in this plane

Still awake

Y'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores

Of this land that can't forget its past

Oh the wind that carries this plane is the wind of change

Heaven sent and hell bent

Over the mountain tops we go just like all the other GI Joes

EE-AY-EE-AY----adios

CHORUS

This is your captain calling--"with an urgent warning"

We're above the Gulf of Arabia--"our altitude is falling"

& I can't hold her up--"there's no time for thinking"

All hands on deck--"this bird is sinking"

Across the beaches and cranes rivers and trains

All the money I've made--bodies I've maimed

Time was when I seemed to know

Just like any other GI Joe

Should I cry like a baby or die like a man

While all the planets like wars start joining hands

Oh what a heaven--what a hell

Y'know there's nothing can be done in the whole wide world

I don't know what's wrong or right

I'm just a regular guy with bottled up insides

I ain't ever been to church or believed in

Jesus Christ

But I'm praying that Gods with you when you die
